Has Harman ruled herself out?

Nicholas

"When you face these kinds of global problems you need as prime minister someone who is respected"

And that would be Brown would it? Yes, the polls are certainly indicating lots of respect.

GE now please!

Diversity

This is:
a) a fairly polite statement that one D. Miliband is not up handling these kinds of global problems, and
b) an avowal that Harriet Harman is intending to enter the leadership contest free of disloyalty to her predecessor.

Someone who is respected? MacUseless???? ROFLMAO.

Bernard from Horsham

THey just dont realise how pathetic it is to suggest that Gordon is respected and the right man. Its laughable nonsense considering that the opinion polls say the exact opposite. Time to smell the coffee...

ferg morrissey

i think it was michael heseltine who said(or quoted someone who said):he who wields the dagger never wears the crown.harperson is rightly letting miliband start the bloodletting in the sure knowledge that he will be vilified as a disloyal traitor.having mortally wounded the 'great leader',she will swoop in,in her own mind,to save the party.can't wait!

David C

Harman does not want to be dragged before the beak for a knife crime.
Diversity has got the meaning.
She'll wait until Brown is safely dead before throwing her hat into the ring.

Rex Burr

To say that the polls are a definitive judgement on Brown's competence suggests that a cross section of the electorate understand where we are.
Such faith in democracy.

TGF UKIP

With strong support from the brothers and the constituency parties, she surprised in the Deputy Leadership contest. Let's hope she does too this time around. Should add greatly to the gaiety of the Coffee House and the nation.

I don't think Harriet Harman will be good as a leader, she is a extremist feminist legallising murder against MANKIND".
Anyway if Gordon Brown does go, it doesn't make any difference, they won't be in power come the election,(I Hope).

Nicholas

"To say that the polls are a definitive judgement on Brown's competence suggests that a cross section of the electorate understand where we are.
Such faith in democracy."

But I didn't say the polls were a definitive judgement did I? And I think it is more than a "cross-section" of the electorate who understand just where we are and have shown it in various elections recently.

And I probably do have more faith in democracy than most Labour supporters, who seem to want to alternately manipulate the electorate and then scorn it when it doesn't do what they expect.

King John

Who actually cares what HH thinks or says. She is a greater nonentity than most of the cabinet. Had she not (quite surprisingly) won the deputy leadership race, does anyone actually believe she's now be in the cabinet. Even TB (perhaps pressured from GB) had the good sense to fire her. She is next to useless, another one of these NL politicos who believe their own publicity and hype. By all means allow her to run for and win the NL leadership, if we thought defeat under GB was going to be fun to watch, then that under a HH leadership will be all the more so.

Silent Hunter

Who in their right mind would want Harriet Harpy as PM?

GENERAL ELECTION...........NOW !
