Harriet Harman’s week of power has caused much anxiety in the male fiefdoms of Fleet Street. What would Britain look like under Harridan Har-person’s zealous feminist wo-manifesto, asks the Daily Mail? Men would be arrested if caught in the act of giving flowers to women; no male banker should make a decision without asking matron first, it jokes.

Others predictably followed suit. “Forget Man United, from here on the Premier League champs would be known as Non-Gender United”, says the Sun. Super-PC Har-person “has redefined the silly season”, carped the Daily Telegraph. Lost in the mix was a separate report of Nigella Lawson’s sartorial “scandal” featuring pictures of her going out “without make-up” and in a “shapeless dress.”
