What about Hazel Blears and Jacqui Smith? Now there's a trio of walking disasters if ever there was one! Nor should any hopes be held out for David Cameron. Reports claim he is as "mangina-ified" as they come. Alas poor Britain! Why only mention Harriet Harman? What about Hazel Blears and Jacqui Smith?
