"In the past week or so we have started to take money in this market and there has been something of a move towards rising star, Mr Purnell" said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. The bookies make David Miliband 5/4 favourite to succeed Gordon Brown as Leader and have lengthened Ed Balls from 5/1 to 6/1 second favourite and also offer: 7/1 Douglas Alexander; 10/1 Alan Johnson; 12/1 Hilary Benn; Ed Miliband; 16/1 Yvette Cooper; Ruth Kelly; James Purnell and 20/1 Andy Burnham. William Hill have cut their odds about Gordon Brown leaving office this year from 33/1 to 20/1 and from 5/2 to 15/8 to depart in 2009. He is 15/8 to cease to be PM in 2010. Ken Livingstone has been cut from 7/4 to 13/8 by William Hill to win the London Mayoral Election after making up ground on favourite Boris Johnson in the polls. Johnson is still favourite but his odds have been lengthened from 2/5 to 4/9. William Hill offer Brian Paddick at 25/1 and Sian Berry at 66/1. |
