Wanna Bet?

The arrest of Lord Levy could well be the final nail in Tony Blair's Prime Ministership say bookmakers William Hill who have slashed the price about Tony Blair leaving office in 2006 from 11/4 to 2/1 . Hills have also cut the price of a Conservative victory at the next General Election from 8/11 to 4/6 pushing Labour out from Even money to 11/10. "They don't call him Teflon Tony for nothing but the latest scandal could well be the final straw for Labour supporters who must be close to losing their patience", said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams adding: "At this moment it is another week, another scandal and as a result we make the Conservatives firm favourites to win most seats at the next General Election".

TONY BLAIR SPECIALS Year in which Tony Blair leaves Office of Prime Minister: 11/10 - 2007, 2/1 - 2006, 3/1 - 2008, 9/1 - 2009, 20/1 2010 or beyond.

Tony Blair to beat Margaret Thatcher's tenure as Prime Minister: 1/20 No, 8/1 Yes.

MOST SEATS AT THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION: 4/6 Conservatives, 11/10 Labour, 80/1 Lib Dems.

NEXT LABOUR LEADER: 1/4 Gordon Brown, 6/1 Alan Johnson, 8/1 David Miliband, 12/1 John Reid, 20/1 Alan Milburn, 33/1 Margaret Beckett, 33/1 Jack Straw, 40/1 Des Browne, 50/1 Peter Hain, 50/1 Hazel Blears, 66/1 Hilary Benn, 66/1 Charles Clarke, 66/1 Geoff Hoon, 80/1 John Prescott.

Prescott at 80/1 for leader? Surely they can do better than that.

If Prezza ever leads the Labour Party I'll eat my waffle tree.

2/1 on 2006? snap their hands off before it goes odds on.

80/1 Prezza, Its a possibility if Bliar has to walk the plank. You would win your bet if Prezza became PM by default for only one day.
What a ghastly thought, one slime ball replacing another. Has Politics sunk this low?

He'll go this year, and not of hiw own free will. Kicking and screaming. Handcuffs would be nice.

Blair will be celebrating Xmas in the presidential suite at the Scrubs at this rate. Forget Gordo, he's so last century. But that 6/1 on Alan Johnson looks tempting.

What's really depressing, though, is that even with a criminal prosecution at the gates od Downing Street, Hills still offering fairly large odds *against* Blair going anywhere in the next six months. Unbelievable.
