Already, one left-wing Parliament member, John McDonnell, says he'll run for the Labour leadership. But he has no real shot (odds: 100 to 1 against). John Reid (8 to 1 against), a former Communist turned right-wing Blairite, has long disliked Brown and would relish a grudge match.

I never heard him stumble over a name or punchline, even when by rights he should have been stumbling over the furniture. And every tale...
...King and Irving went first, King telling with relish a story his fans might recognize from the movie Stand By Me - a whole town vomiting during a pie-eating contest. Irving read a passage from his novel A Prayer for Owen Meany with wonderful verve and humor. But the men knew who the main event was. Rowling didn't just have the best shoes - gold strappy sandals - she also had the most devoted fans. After reading a passage from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, her most recent book - the sixth in the seven-book series - she took questions...
