    Her reasons why Labour haven’t had a female leader - because Labour women intimidate Labour men - are pathetic. No love, it’s because Labour women, most of whom don’t know what a women is, are incapable. The manner in which Labour women have avoided supporting Rosie Duffield, and Harman is front and centre, is disgusting.

      ​@goonerboz6023 most of her interview is talking about Laubor leaders, how her husband and her feminist routes work on toxic ambient of parliament.
      The moments she spends about the Conservative Party current MPs is generally positive.
      But if you spent more time scrolling through the comments that watching the interview, it won't be easy to change your mind on what you had already subornly decided to say as soon as you saw this at your feed.

    Excellent interview. Loved how Harriet said that there have been 2 women Prime Minsters and forgot about the lettuce! 😂 She did a very respectable job during the enquiry and should be praised for that, especially having recently lost her husband. A very tough job during a very personal tragedy. Even Penny Mordaunt was very kind to her which is a rare moment of compassion from a Tory! (Don’t expect many of those!) Also, completely right about Corbyn, a disaster. Looking forward to Labour romping to victory now they look electable again.

    Harman is terrible. Thinks all women should think the same thing (be left wing) hence why she was so snobbish about Lady Thatcher being PM - an honour that was never bestowed on her. Also appalling the way she comments about Thatcher and the baby - just because she was on the right she thinks she was a terrible person. Good to see the back of Harperson.

    I watched the intro then decided not to bother with the whole interview. Harriet Harman's witterings, which do nothing but demonstrate her hysterical thought processes and hatred through tribalism, are not attractive nor make interesting contributions to any conversation. Harriet is all about making women powerful until it comes to Margaret Thatcher. What Hattie hates is that Maggie did it without all women shortlists etc. She got to the top through ability and hard work.

      The usual rantings from a Tory troll, yawn. The interview was very interesting, unlike you're little petulant rant. Thatcher did nothing for equality for women, all she did was out men the men, that doesn't lead to equality. She filled her cabinets with men. She was no feminist.

      It’s such a pity SIR Mark Thatcher only managed 2 “O” levels after his privileged education, something he has in common with Corbyn. Subtle difference though , he wasn’t found guilty of financing a failed Coup d’Etat in Africa.
