Harman might need a Shaman to save her

Dear Harriet Harman,

Breakfast this morning will probably be an uncomfortable experience for you.  In a bizarre twist, Gordon Brown may be taking a considerable portion of the flack over this despicable funding row, but it is your job that is looking the most vulnerable.

Let us be clear about a few things.  You accepted a donation from Janet Kidd, who you had never heard of nor met - and this didn’t raise an eyebrow?  The fact that your husband is the Labour Party treasurer makes your acceptance of a dubious and unchallenged donation seem all the more incredible.  The Prime Minister may have narrowly dodged the bullet by not accepting donations from Mr Abrahams, but you were not as careful.  As if that wasn’t bad enough, Hilary Benn turned down a donation from Janet Kidd and you didn’t, even though you were both contesting the Labour deputy leadership at the time.

Oh dear.  The future looks a little bleaker for you with every day that passes.  What’s that saying about jumping and being pushed?  Remind me…

A.Tory
