Harriet Harman on the Toady programme - Live blogging

A lovely journalistic conversation between John Humphrys and Nick Robinson and then the interview with Harriet Harman, I can hardly wait to hear what platitudes she comes out with.

Not a judgement on campaign or two candidates, but on family finances
"Grubby campaign" - What your people on their ground were saying
Campaign didn't affect result.
Do you regret the immigration campaign? Harriet Harman goes onto ID cards for foreign nationals. "I make no bones... we lost... sending a message to the govenment... we will listen..."
"Helped 22 million people and put £2.7 billion ...into economy... family finances"

The catchphrase for the day is "finally finances"

"beyond compensating.... way beyond that... people still have concerns"

"Address ... soncerns... family finances..."
Increase fuel supply internationally, ... help people with insulation, improve (yet again) public transport...
re oil "demand has edged up but supply has not"
"22 million people in a better situation... background of difficult international..."
"Gordon Brown... experience..."
"Let the work of change begin"???
"I remember the state of the economy when Gordon Brown took over... he has turned the .. around... no economic commentator is predicting that our economy will shrink" REALLY!
"Very unclear what the Tories stand for... think about people's concerns... we are in ofice, in government..."
"When will men in grey suits.. will turn to Gordon Brown?"
"Solidly behind Gordon Gordon Brown...."

A tricky interview for Harriet Harman and John Humphrys did actually press her. Maybe the BBC now realise that they cannot suck up to Labour too obviously now, for fear of what the Conservatives might do to the BBC if they are the next government. Some fear at the BBC is a good thing if it stops their pro-Labour propaganda.
