Whose Door Should Be Left Open?

I was delighted when I first heard that John Reid was backing The Ginger One for Deputy Leader.

After all, it was endorsement from one of the most senior Ministers in the Government and a man with a high integrity rating and popularity amongst the electorate. But after reading the revelations in The Daily Mail, I'm left wondering whether it isn't more a case of leather fetishism than a case of political alignment.

On the other hand, maybe it's not Chipmunk that Stalin's nephew is after this time. Caroline Flint is a possible contender, especially for someone whose eyesight is fading. Or maybe it's the fertile and very sexy Papal Envoy who is due for a late night phone call inviting her to leave the door ajar. On the other hand... maybe it's Andy Burnham or John Hutton who can anticipate a bunch of roses and a bottle of champagne on ice.

Oh God. I hope it's not me! Linda! Linda!
