Top 5 MPs in ludicrous costumes
You can buy a free standing mirror with your MP's additional cost allowance. So what went wrong for:
1) Lembit Opik demonstrates his Christmas cheer (see Guido's favourite photo )
2) Ron Davies - former cabinet minister and Chief Druid
3) Oliver Letwin taking us back to the time of the toga
4) John Prescott - both man and frog
5) William Hague caps it all (I was not in his inner circle at the time, he said hastily)
I think all these suggest that Harriet Harman's stab-proof jacket (below) was a relatively minor offence.







The one who gets me mad is Harriot Harman who has made a mess of every job she has been given.
If an old lady Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll can cope with quite light security why the heck can't she. she is actually of little or no importance

As if she wore it because she was worried about her safety, she's been MP there for 26 years, if you see her out and about door knocking in the run up to elections - will she be wearing a stab vest then? Of course not.
The whole furore about it is completely pathetic.

WHEN WILL YOU STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS! I shouldn't be surprised that this article has been written by a Tory and a male one no less.
how come you're not talking about my superior performance at PMQs, eh?

Hey, H. H. Harman, don't you think it's a tad disingenuous and cowardly to dismiss any criticism given by someone with a penis as automatically valueless? I'm a woman and I too think you're goofy.

At least she got to speak. Hague pulled rank at me – I just had to sit through PMQs in silence, contemplating whether I should wear patent thigh-high leather boots for my appearance on Question Time the next day (I did)
