Let me tell you just one of the reasons why I find her detestable, and that is because early this year she proposed a rule change to have MPs' expenses exempted from the Freedom of Information Act, which would of course have prevented not only the subsequent leaks of them to the Telegraph but of course the ensuing furore.
Sadly for Ms Harman,her plans collapsed when the Tories refused to back Labour, thus opening the floodgates of bilge about the expenses. Therefore, had her little scheme succeeded, we may never have known about the scandalous conduct, literally at our collective expense, of her and her esteemed colleagues. Sneaky b!tch.
