Veteran Labour MP Harriet Harman has announced she will stand down at the next general election.
She revealed her decision in an email to her local party in Camberwell and Peckham on Tuesday morning after almost 40 years as their MP. She promised to "work energetically" until the next polling day. But Ms Harman said she would then leave the Commons "now confident that Labour is gaining strength under the leadership of Keir Starmer". Labour MP Karen Buck called her a "guiding light and inspiration for women in politics", while former MP and now West Yorkshire Mayor, Tracey Brabin, called her "the original glass ceiling smasher". The 71-year-old became an MP in 1982 and has held a raft of posts in the party - including two brief stints as leader after Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband stepped down. She served as deputy leader for both men, but is perhaps better known for her feminist campaigning in Parliament and as Mother of the House - the woman with the longest continuous service in the Commons. |

[Labour MP Harriet Harman has announced
she will stand down at the next general election] Yes fair enough she has had her time, last under Corbyn doing pink bus tours? 2015 [Deputy leader Harriet Harman is leading the "woman-to-woman" initiative, which will see a 16-seater minibus tour the UK up to May's election targeting women who did not vote in 2010.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-31376622 Last edited by arista; 07-12-2021 at 10:56 AM. |

Starmer has given an Exclusive to Times Radio DAB
and free online. The presenter Ayesha Hazarika worked under new labour. At the end of the interview she asked him for his vision of the UK. He said a "New Britain" under him. I thought, sounds like new labour, again. |

Politicians are just sooooo predictable !
In response to being told that his boss, Starmer was positive again and was self isolating for the 6th time ... Stephen Morgan ( Labour MP) immediately had a go at Boris for being careless then said that Starmer followed the Covid rules rigidly ! 6 isolations kinda suggests the opposite, surely ?

How can a man with so much responsibility be so careless that he has to isolate himself so much.

He has only had covid twice.
He's far from the only one. There's 4 other instances where he's been around some other person who had it, who likely didn't know they had. So rightly he's had to do the right thing and isolate afterwards too himself. It's odd he gets criticism for even doing the right thing while excuses are made and brushing aside done for the actual PM who tries to say he doesn't know what goes on on HIS home and workplace. Or that when it's clear he was blatantly breaking rules which he was dictating to everyone else. Such is covid, we don't know who has got it, some people who have it, don't even know they've got it. If you're meeting people most of the time, you are more than likely to end up having to isolate if its found someone you've talked to has got it. It doesn't mean you have it but you will have to isolate. I know of a fair number of people now, family and friends and neighbors who have had covid twice. That is the nature of the virus.

Only had it twice ?? The only person I know who’s had it twice works as a teacher in a classroom full of virus spreaders . Plus he’s been too close to a positive case at least 4 times - again that’s rather high I’d suggest -at least for someone who’s presumably so well informed and diligent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Protection Last edited by Zizu; 07-01-2022 at 12:50 PM. |

Is it??? I'm not sure what your point is. The inference was he was more susceptible to covid having had it so many times. My term he's only had it twice is in the context of exactly that. He's had it twice. The other times he's isolated is from others having it, then him being in contact with them. He is in contact with lots of people as politicians are trying to get out and about and see more people directly. This is covid. I see no reason to criticise for having done the right thing and isolate if you're told you've been in contact with someone who has the virus. I know of people who've had to isolate several times. I know those who had covid last year and have it now even after having had all vaccinations. It can, does and will hit anyone. If you are a public figure you are more likely to come across others who have it. If you have, then you have to isolate. Or should he not in your opinion. Because I'll be happier to see someone who follows the guidelines. Covid however has no respect of anyone no matter their status. If he's isolating too when necessary, he'll still be getting on with other work he needs to do. He won't be just sitting drinking wine or something. I'll condemn politicians, even of my own party for many things but never for doing the right thing. Last edited by joeysteele; 07-01-2022 at 01:18 PM. |

Hes obviously NOT been doing the right thing, hence why he has caught it twice..you would think after the first time he would be more diligent, but it seems NOT.
