Harriet's in town.

The of the Labour Party hit the streets of Norwich briefly today....very briefly actually.

She had to get to, where I hope she had a better reception.

There we were, some Labour supporters and a gaggle of media blinking in the sunlight.

Check, yes, there's the baby and a mum on the doorstep rather self consciously peering out of her doorway at the small crowd beyond.

"We'll do one more then she'll speak to you," we're told.

Sooner than we think, as it turns out, when the door across the street is closed rather sooner, methinks, than anticipated.

I am interested in why haven't been more prominent this campaign.

"I think there's been more focus on the leaders in this campaign," sighed Ms Harman.

"We are fielding more women candidates than in any other election."

Yeah but that's not actually saying much as not many of those will translate into seats.

It still doesn't explain why in general election 2010 we have barely heard from any frontbench females. Or, for that matter, any black candidates either.

Fresh politics?

Don't make me laugh.
