Ginger Nuts
Harriet Harman travelled all the way from London to Oban - to deliver a calculated and childish insult against government minister and Scottish MP, Danny Alexander.
But by calling the minister a 'political mutant' and 'ginger rodent' - all that Harriet has achieved is to make herself look ridiculous.
Her subsequent apology is meaningless - because this was no throw away, off the cuff remark - but part of a speech to the Scottish Labour party conference.
Maybe Neil Kinnock - the flame-haired Welshman and former Labour leader - will have a quiet word in her ear - or better still Gordon Brown.
Remember all the fuss - when celebrated petrolhead Jeremy Clarkson called the then Labour Prime Minister 'a one-eyed Scottish idiot' - while filming a TV programme in Australia?
So Harriet has more in common with the Top Gear presenter than you might think - but at least Clarkson doesn't harbour any ambitions about running the country.
