Feminism Row: Harman Gets Shirty With Cameron

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 29 Oktober 2014 | 23.21

Harriet Harman has found a novel way of criticising David Cameron at Prime Minister's Questions - by donning a pro-feminist top he had refused to wear.

In the Commons, the deputy Labour leader was seen wearing a T-shirt with the slogan: "This is what a feminist looks like."

Earlier this week, it was revealed that Mr Cameron had rebuffed five offers to be photographed in the shirt, which is part of a campaign by Elle magazine and the Fawcett Society.

This was despite the fact that Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg had agreed to support the initiative.

Lorraine Candy, Elle's editor-in-chief, claimed his refusal implied he "still has an issue with the word".

Despite his vocal messages of support, the journalist insisted it "doesn't bode well" for the fight for equality "when the man in charge doesn't engage" with such a campaign.

After Ms Harman tweeted a photograph of herself in the T-shirt, she received a scathing response from the Tory press office.

They wrote: "And what does getting your husband through an all-women shortlist look like?"

Their retort was in reference to her husband, Jack Dromey, who was elected as a Birmingham MP after Labour ruled out an all-women shortlist.

The Labour party has insisted on the measure in other areas.
