Well, Harriet Harman has got something right. Class certainly is still the greatest social divide in Britain - far greater than race, gender or religion. A middle class member of an ethnic minority group, or the female sex, or a religion (such as Islam) which is thought to provoke public distrust, is likely to do better educationally, socially and economically than a member of the poorest section of the white working class who has none of those alleged handicaps.. The statistical evidence for that proposition is overwhelming and beyond dispute. What Ms Harman and those of her political inclination must ask themselves is, first, why does this continue to be the case after all the efforts at reform that have been made since the last world war. and second, how much responsibility does their party - and its ideology - have for this fact? Are Labour politicians really still mystified by the perpetuation of the class system? Could they be so wilfully obtuse as not to see that their own political philosophy - and the approach to government that follows from it - are largely to blame for the intractable barrier which still seems to exist between working and middle class life? The crucial difference between them lies not so much in the obvious disparities of wealth which are capable of remedy, but in attitude and assumptions about life's possibilities which have proved extraordinarily resistant to change. The keys to working class (or non- ...

Harriet Harman is Yin to Gordon Brown's Yang. While the Labour leader quotes Gertrude Himmelfarb's philosophy on the Enlightenment, his deputy hands out recipes for her “foolproof” asparagus tart. He is a state-educated Scot who has a cupboard full of navy suits; she is a private-school girl from Middle England with a nice line in brightly patterned Jigsaw tops. He is a natural pessimist, she is an instinctive optimist, a wide-eyed enthusiast who is never happier than when throwing herself into a cause. When she was campaigning for the deputy leadership, she made a virtue of the contrast, describing herself as Radio 2 to his Radio 4. ...

Harriet Harman, Minister for Women and Equality, today visited the POPPY Project and met with women who have been trafficked into sexual exploitation. POPPY provides accommodation and support to trafficked women. The visit coincides with new survey findings which show that more than half of men and women (58%) support making it illegal to pay for sex if it will help reduce women and children trafficked into the UK for sexual exploitation. The research also finds divergent attitudes... ...

Dear Harriet Harman, What a shocker. What an incredibly naive piece of propoganda. Your speech at the TUC conference yesterday made several things abundantly clear to me: you are out of touch, you are desperate to reignite your core vote and - most importantly of all - you are not learning the lessons that history has [...] ...
