Harriet Harman's new site and blog goes live

Harriet Harman MP's new website and blog has gone live today. I'm supporting Harriet in her campaign to become Deputy Leader of the Labour Party when John Prescott stands down later this year. The polling suggests that more people would be likely to vote Labour with Harriet as Gordon Brown's deputy. I also feel that it is crucially important that we have a gender balanced ticket at the top of the party, so that we are most able to speak up on the issues which concern women and the family — issues which more than ever are at the top of the political agenda.

Harriet has been a tireless campaigner for women's rights and for some of Labour's greatest achievements, such as the minimum wage. I have no doubt that she would make an exemplary Deputy Leader.
