Most people remember Harriet Harman causing controversy when she as a frontbench spokeswoman she sent her children to a selective grammar school school when Labour's policy was at the time against them.
In an interview today she argues that Labour politicians should be free to use private healthcare and send their children to private schools. Is this a worrying statement from someone aspiring to be Labour's Deputy Leader, or is she reflecting the values of 'middle england'? Does it matter that our leaders' life decisions are not intune with party's policy and values, or is she again open to charges of hypocrisy?
