Mr and Mrs Harriet Harman

Michael Crick: "Jack Dromey [husband of Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, Harriet Harman MP] has won the nomination as Labour candidate for Birmingham Erdington. When I asked a victorious Mr Dromey whether there should have been an All Woman Shortlist in Erdington, he said that the last seven seats selected in this region had had All Women Shortlists. So it's good for Jack they made an exception for once."
