According to a report in First Post,Margaret Beckett is almost assured of being the next speaker.
Nigel Horne writes that
With only lightweight contenders put forward by the Tories and Lib Dems, Beckett should be assured of a smooth ride in the secret ballot of MPs. Apart from a few arch-Blairites, most Labour MPs can be expected to vote for her.
Despite no doubt incurring the wrath of Gordon Brpwn by resigning last Friday insisting that she wanted a promotion
her run for Speaker can be expected to get "below the radar" approval from Number Ten.
