I expected her to get off but that would have been too obvious I suppose. Anyone betting that she'll claim it on expenses?

Labour’s deputy leader Harriet Harman today became the first serving Cabinet minister in memory to plead guilty to a criminal charge after admitting driving without due care and attention.

Ms Harman was fined £350 and ordered to pay a further £70 costs and a £15 victim surcharge after her lawyer entered the guilty plea at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court. Three points were also put on her license.

A second charge of driving while using a mobile phone was withdrawn.

Why? We should be told.

And there is more to this stitch up

“Ms Harman is pleased that the potential charges of leaving the scene of an accident without exchanging particulars and failing to report an accident to the police have been dropped.
