Would you like to be Chancellor, Darling?

The Scotsman thinks it knows something important about Gordon Brown's plans for his first Cabinet:
Alistair Darling will next week lead Britain's biggest ever trade mission to India where he will link up with Gordon Brown.

The three-day trip to Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore will boost speculation at Westminster that he is set to become Chancellor when Mr Brown takes over from Tony Blair as Prime Minister.
"When Mr Brown takes over from Tony Blair as Prime Minister"? Does anyone know the Scots for "hubris"?
