Benn for PM ?

Everyone knows there is just no point in being elected deputy leader of anything, let alone that Labour party. The only point in standing is to run for the leadership under cover. (OK Maybe Harriet doesn't understand this part, but what's new there ?)

Mr Benn (jnr) must think Gordon is going to slip up. His grumpiness will have noted this - so its a high risk strategy for Hilary. Still can't help thinking who ever wins - the tax payer will lose - followed by everyone else not on MP pensions and salaries.

There was a time when the thought of Mr Benn as PM would have caused a run on the pound. I wonder just how reformed and NuLabour Mr H Benn really is.....
