I spoke too soon?

The price, as predicted, has moved up to 8/13 on the Tories to have the most seats at the next general election but I am feeling more nervous than my previous carefree post. Why? Because there is a growing body of opinion that Gordon Brown won't make it. Best of the bunch of soothsayers is this piece by Matthew Parris.

As far as the local elections go, Rosie Cooper looks like she will hang on by her whiskers and Debi Jones will take the new Sefton Central.

As for Southport, I recoil from predicting the outcome to what will be a close race possibly two years down the line. This website sees a win for Brenda Porter based purely on the redrawing of the electoral map, if Cameron's romping home that will give her a big bounce, too.

But enough of boring politics, how am I to tell my nephew Maramaduke that Smarteenies is never going to be on television again now that Mark Speight's been found dead?

Maybe the Turkish gentleman who keeps hacking the Champion's website can provide an answer?
