I was trying to think if there has ever been a major political debate when 2 women Cabinet ministers were, at least briefly, the main protagonists on opposite sides
The arrest of an MP & the searching of his parliamentary offices may not on the end lead to a major debate. And there has not been all that much discussion in public between different ‘wings’ of Labour
But at least Harriet Harman & Jacqui Smith have had a mini public debate on the principles involved
But how sad that Jill Pay, who has worked at the Palace of Westminster since 1994 when she was Head Office Keeper, has had the finger pointed at her
The current Speaker does not seem to have much luck with his serjeants
