Reid vs Brown

Labour voters - which grim Scottish control-freak would you like to lead your party?

Because whereas previously John Reid declared himself to have no such ambitions, his conference speech would be inexplicable unless he does now.

We know he wants to be leader because he has spoken here and on other occasions about the need to be tough on Muslims and tough on the causes of Muslims.

This, perhaps, explains his friendship with Radovan Karadzic.

I'd have to agree with Polly Toynbee - if the Labour party went for Reid, they really do have a death-wish - or at least a desire to be smacked in the face with a half-brick.



"Sic 'im, John".

Update: Marcus has a different view here.
