Hypocrisy of the Highest Order
News broke late last week that Jack Dromey, Labour Party Secretary and husband of the equality campaigner (militant feminist) Harriet Harman has been selected to fight a Birmingham seat for Labour.
The whole thing has smacks of hypocrisy about it. Hatty has been going on and on about how wee need all women short-lists to encourage more women into parliament, then the only seat not to have such a case just so happens to be the seat her own husband is selected in.
So, of course we know that the Tories just hand out seats based on who your parents are and how disgraceful this is, so we couldn’t imagine the Labour party doing the same thing could we? Let’s run down a list of such Labour persons:
- Mr & Mrs Ed Balls (Evette Cooper)
- The Benn clan. Tony, then there’s Hilary, and now his daughter has been selected as well
- Harriet Harmen and Jack Dromey
The list goes on and there are more examples which I wont bore you with. Anyhow, Labour aren’t guilty of keeping it in the family, surely not?
