Next June could present an "ideal" opportunity for Gordon Brown to call a General Election, according to a close ally of the Prime Minister.

Charlie Whelan, a former press secretary to Mr Brown, predicted Labour would by then be ahead of the Tories in the polls.

His comments appeared in a column for the Strathspey and Badenoch Herald, which is published in the Scottish Highlands where Mr Whelan has a second home.
