Harriet Harman was on fighting form in Parliament today when she responded to the Queen’s Speech. Between telling David Cameron to watch his back for Tory leadership hopeful Boris Johnson and remembering the Ed Stone, Harman paid tribute to Simon Burns, who gave the first speech.
Speaking about the Tory MP, she revealed that in his heyday he was something of a ladies man who ‘cut quite a dash’ back in the 1980s. In fact, she likened him to a young Robert Redford.
Alas, Harman concluded that Burns now bears more of a resemblance to Jeremy Clarkson than the Hollywood star. No word on whether Burns thinks Harman’s looks have stood the test of time.
