So long, Harriet Harperson

Article here. Well I doubt we shall see the very last of her any time soon, but the perilous edge on which the UK teetered it seems has been (at least for now) if not avoided, then delayed. Excerpt:

'It took her 30 years to get to the top of the Labour Party but, after just 137 days, her reign is over. Harriet Harman took a final wander through the grand rooms accorded to the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament last week, looking almost wistfully at the view across the Thames, before vacating in preparation for the arrival of the new Labour leader. She will return to the other end of the shadow cabinet table with her colleagues next month, but at least she will have the consolation of having reached the top of a particularly treacherous career ladder.'
