The arbiter of propriety

Read this from the BBC and you decide if Harriett Harman should be able to answer questions about the propriety of other government ministers.

"The Bank of England has lent Northern Rock some £25bn of taxpayers' money after the bank was forced to seek emergency funding in the aftermath of this summer's credit crunch.

During business questions in the Commons, Mr Jackson asked Ms Harman: "Will you give consideration to the propriety or otherwise of the appearance this week of the Chancellor of the Exchequer at a Labour fundraising event hosted by Deutsche Bank, which is a party to the consortium hoping to take over Northern Rock?

"Do you think there is a possible conflict of interest in that particular issue?"

Ms Harman responded: "I am sure there is no conflict of interest.""


These people are shameless, absolutely shameless.
