Brown alleged a "spent force" but Harman nicked anyway
Gordon Brown was described last night as "a man without authority presiding over a Cabinet of pygmies".
Harriet Harman was nonetheless fined £435 and given three penalty points - taking her total to nine - very near disqualification. Allegedly this was for smashing into a voter's car whilst using a mobile phone recklessly. Ms Harman became the first serving Cabinet minister in recent history to plead guilty to a criminal charge.
IMO: In the old 'life on Mars' type days in Australia they always used to say, "if the police do not like you, do not drive a car or go to a public toilet". At least Harman did not have to face cottaging charges, it would appear.
Nonetheless, reports are that Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth could resign over the weekend and that only four Cabinet ministers – Mr Balls, Work and Pensions Secretary Yvette Cooper, Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward and Health Secretary Andy Burnham – were willing to "die in the ditch" for Mr Brown.
