Harman 7/1? Worth a Punt

Betfair has finally opened up a market on who will be the Labour number two - smart move guys, but the trading would have been more choppy earlier. Alan Johnson is favourite, Hilary Benn is behind him 5/2 and Harman is next at 7/1.

Blears, Cruddas and Hain follow up in that order at long odds. Guido suspects it could be that the favourite wins, but has nevertheless put a few quid on Harman at what looks like good value. Suspicious number of Brownites backed her nomination...

So we get a bent, snot-eating, English hating, pension stealing, control freak as PM and a screwed up cunt with a chip on his shoulder a mile wide as his deputy.

Nice!

And with Mrs Dromey enjoying a share of the real estate it may dissuade Mr Dromey from skiing off piste, screaming unhelpful things like 'I was party treasurer but no-one told me anything'.

Here's Blair's real legacy (or should that be Brown's?):

Britain is now the second biggest debtor nation in the world and owes 18% of total world debt....

Oh no, not the tick box socialist Johnson pleeeze.

Nah, Harman is a non-starter unless she comes up with some major policy changes. Or a radical change in approach from her 'dull solicitor from Penge' approach.

"Harman ...Worth a Punt"

Your use of personalised Cockney rhyming slang might be lost on many northerners!

Under no circumstances should Harriet Harman emerge as Labour’s deputy leader and, worst still, a potential Deputy Prime Minister. I have not seem a more useless aspirant to power since a party leader in Denmark in the mid-1970s almost came to office on the back of a promise to place tripwire along the border that would blast out “we surrender” in Russian were the Red Army to invade.

I wouldn't bet on Johnson being DPM if he win's the contest for Deputy Leader.

Harriet comes across as the bank manager calling you in to inform you that your overdraft is bang up to its limit.

Only to inform you of extra charges for being so.

A cunts trick if ever there was one.

She doesn't get my vote for that alone!

You know what, I think your right.
