In a speech to delegates at the Scottish Labour conference, Harriet Harman said that they should use the Euro elections as a "dress rehearsal" for the next UK election.Oh dear, what Harriet has just achieved is to make the Euro elections a vote of confidence on not only Gordon Brown, but also upon herself. If Labour do poorly (and it is highly likely that they will) both she and Gordon will carry the can - Brown for being the leader of the party and herself for being the manager of Labour's Euro election campaign. I suspect Harman has been stitched up (by Brown) with this suicide mission.
UPDATE: I've been thinking. Harman no doubt knows she has been 'done up like a kipper' by Brown. Has she deliberately linked the result of the Euro elections to Gordon Brown and the General election? - "If I'm going down, you're going with me".

Great, if the EUROs are a dress rehearsal, maybe we can have a GE in the summer.
Well observed Steve. I'm not listening to it, I'm trying to have a stress free day.
Daniel, Yes please!
Subrosa,
You do right. Listening to crap and spin is not good for your blood pressure.
The more publicity Harriet gets, the better. Like you, Steve, we should all do our bit to help.
If Gordon Brown has stitched up Harriett Harman, then he can't be all bad.
Nearly all, but not quite all.
Prodicus,
I have a confession. I paid my sixteen year-old daughter a fiver to deliver the second half of my conservative leaflets. Ah well, it's all good for the economy.
JJ,
Too true.
Yes, the sub-texts in both directions are fascinating.
I for one am now really looking forward to the European elections. It would be great to get rid of both of 'em — Brown and Harman — in a matter of just months from now…
