Don’t be a tit Harriet – it’s for charity

Mr S witnessed an awkward moment for Harriet Harman before the microphones were switched on for Friday night’s episode of Any Questions.

During the off-air warm-up at BBC’s Broadcasting House, Labour’s deputy leader took umbrage with the fact that her water bottle had a pink lid, jumping to the conclusion that it was a dig about her much-maligned pink van.

When it was delicately pointed out by a fellow panelist that the water brand in question was supporting a breast cancer fundraising appeal, she quickly made a big show of putting on her glasses and making sympathetic noises.

It’s not all about you, Harriet.
