A present from Harriet to Boris

Will the gaffes ever stop coming?  Just a matter of weeks after Jacqui Smith admitted she has police protection when walking around London, the Daily Mail have caught out Harriet Harman for wearing a “stab-proof” vest whilst touring Peckham, in her own constituency.  The image is gold for Boris, particularly as he majored on violent crime at his campaign launch yesterday.

Meanwhile, Harman did further damage with her agitated performance on Today this morning.
