Harriet Harman: She's Trying She Really Is

The Diary who are Jon Cruddas fans have a rather Trotty and cruel story about poor Harriet Harman, missus of Jack Dromey who famously knew nothing about any loans to the party he treasures.

I wrongly commented there that Jon Henley had diaried another Harman knocking biece yesterday in the Guardian, whereas it was in fact Katherine Bergen in The Sun ... easy mistake to make. Not that I'm a Sun reader like that Parbury mind. It suggested HH had offered herself out on the stomp or stump through the marginals and super marginals of our fair isle. No takers so far. And "Who She?" has been heard on the far reaches of the back benches.

Ever since The Guardian has down-sized, launched tabloidy and sometimes inaccurate attacks on the people's party and her finest (glaringly inaccurate, though no spolling errers), and added a splash of colour in the masthead - a worrying blue, aw shucks not unlike my own - it has sometimes been hard to tell the difference.

NOTE: In America the parties switched colours dramatically and the above map is not a sign of either restored British Empire hegemony or socialist (or even Harmanite) domination.
