...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. But at 59, he's the oldest likely contender, and his style seems out of tune with the iPod age. Hipness wouldn't be a problem for David Miliband (12 to 1 against), the 41-year-old Environment Minister. He's articulate, attractive--he even blogs. Alan Johnson, a genial ex--mail carrier and union leader now running Education, is a bit more popular, and M.P.s praying for anyone...

So book way in advance, as 250 divas-by-night regularly swell the joint to capacity.

And, yes, you should definitely count on a next time. tel: (44-20) 7439 3660; luckyvoice.co.uk
