After a major reshuffle as we have seen recently, the ambitious among us have an eye to the availability of Special Adviser positions. I have written this small note to help guide those on their way…
Dear Ms Harman,
As A WOMAN, I would like to apply for the position of Special Adviser to you in your role as Leader of the House and Minister for WOMEN. I’m sure you would agree that WOMEN such as myself are under-represented in the cohort of Special Advisers.
Also, before considering some other applicants who might also be WOMEN, may I suggest you look out for those NORTHERN WOMEN, who are quite obviously unsuited to this role, being, as it is, based in THE SOUTH.
I of course am a SOUTHERN WOMAN and… etc… etc…

Bitter, or what.

Hilarious. And nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that your preferred candidate came…er…fourth.

No, just genuinely funny. And s frighteningly accurate description of Harriet “vote for me ‘cos I’ve got a fanny” Harman’s campaign.

Only as read by someone really bitter.

Not bitter, Harriet was above Cruddas and Johnson on my preferences, so by that time I was rootin’ for her. I was amused by the WOMAN thing though, particularly when she refused to name Hazel as her second preference

It sounds like you’re developing a sense of humour Monkey. That’s great. Now we just have to wait for the judgement chip to kick in. The Labour party was offered one vote on the leadership, and the party you support voted in a candidate whose campaign appears to have been based on demanding the job because she’s female and not called Hazel. Labour party members fell for it. So feel free to make jokes, but try to understand how laughable and pathetic the result makes your party look to those of us who are not political anoraks.
