Mark Pack said she was not in a comment on my original post.

Commenting on Harriet Harman’s drive to make buying sex illegal, Liberal Democrat Equalities Spokesperson, Lynne Featherstone said: "Before introducing this new law, the Government has to prove that outlawing paying for sex will reduce trafficking.

Ian Hislop! Don't you want to give the silly bastard a hard stare at least? An old-fashioned look? And Lynne Featherstone? And that Next man? And Oily Duncan?

Specifically, she said that senior officials in the Children's Services department of Haringey Council should be sacked. She went on to put a lot of blame on the Labour group which controls the Council and implied that heads should roll there too. I think she is right, but not ...

The June issue of Total Politics has a profile of Lynne Featherstone MP in which interviewer Ben Duckworth looks at how Lynne thinks as a minister and how she is regarded. Here’s a flavour: On ministerial visits, she will arrive to discover that people have confused her with her Conservative colleague Maria Miller: “I go

I must confess that I simply don't understand these tactics from Labour: The British National Party is stronger than ever and could pose a major threat to Labour in the upcoming European elections, Harriet Harman, the Labour Party's deputy leader, said.
