Harriet Harman today

I'm just wondering....PM's questions...

A) Did she actually answer a single question

and B) Was she on loop? As everytime she stood up the only thing she seemed to say was the tories would look after the millionaires!?

She's just rubbish. She has one single line, and constantly states it, no matter what the subject, the answer is always the same.

Anyone reckon shes actually worse than Brown?!! She irritates me even more!!

    I'm pretty sure she answered the question about the evil tory's giving money to the rich millionaires. Fortunatly, the labour government is there to take it away again, you'll be glad to know.

    Um, she seemed less than willing to answer any question issued by the members opposit, however.

    I love the hopeless planted question by a sycophant. Junior Labour back bencher says " would you agree with me that the Labour party has done something wonderful", and Brown, or Harman, take some time as if they are considering it and reply that "yes we are doing very well".

    It's pathetic. And a criminal waste of PM questions. Democracy for the nursery.

    I didn't realise that PMQ's was intended as a forum to get answers out of the PM or Government. :eek:

    I cannot remember ever, a question from the Leader of the Oppo's or Lib Dems actually being answered.

    It's either an answer to a question nobody asked, or an insult.

    That being said, both Prescott and now Harman have been absolutely pathetic and an utter embarrassment whenever they have stood in for either Blair or Brown.

    It's a pity she answered a question that was never asked.

    I take major issue with that.

    Prescott is an embarrassment every single time he opens his mouth.

    I'm pretty sure a Labour MP asked it, if I remember he was reading from a note Ms Harman wrote him, and the speaker told him off. I don't remember the exact details of the question, because he had all the charisma of cardboard.

    I corrected it for you.

    I didn't see it, but remember watching her in a tv interview.

    If she said 'let's be [quite] clear' once, she said it thirty times.

    When a politico says that, you know you're going to get a non-answer, that is definitely not [quite] clear!
