William Hill have reopened betting on the Labour leadership, and they show Iain Gray as a narrow favourite, in line with that part of my prediction.Gray's picked up much more of the trade union vote than expected, despite Cathy Jamieson's best efforts, and has of course won over Labour MPs with a promise not to lead them. Their votes really count, as STB has calculated.
Today's odds are:
Iain Gray - 5/4
Andy Kerr - 11/8
Cathy Jamieson - 3/1
I still think Cathy'll be more popular with the membership than people expect, enough to take second place. But no-one's offering odds on that.
