Odds on Brown surviving 2009 are cut

The big news of tonight is that the bookie's have cut the odds on Gordon Brown ceasing to be PM this year.

The Daily Referendum reports that

PUNTERS have backed Gordon Brown down from 6/1 to 5/2 with William Hill to CEASE to be Prime Minister during 2009. 'Since the financial crisis took hold the odds about Mr Brown ceasing to be Prime Minister during 2009 have steadily shortened' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
