Reid looks ahead 2 years

John Reid's decision to stand down at the same time as Tony Blair is probably partly out of frustration with his own brief and the realisation that he is headed for demotion, but I suspect it is also because he wants to distance himself from the Brown Premiership so he can become a returning hero after the next General election.

Dr Reid can see what many others can; Gordon Brown is already tainted. His term at Prime Minister will be a disaster and when the Conservatives form an administration in two years time, he can return as someone totally unharmed by the failures of Brown and assume the Leadership.

I still believe however, that Milliband will run against Brown.
