how do you think she’ll improve Labour’s chances?
Because, to a lot of voters, Gordon is a scary, grumpy old man who wants to steal from their pay packets to buy big, phallic weapons of mass destruction from the Amerkins; and Harriet is a nice, cuddly mummy with a tidy bob who thinks war is bad.
Right, so they’ll stay labour instead of voting for the kindly old gentleman?
