Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman is not having a good week. After being criticised for signing off on a pink battle bus as part of Labour's campaign to attract female voters, she's now got on the wrong side of Mumsnetters.
Users of the largest network for parents criticised Harman for not answering enough of their questions during a webchat - and they weren't satisfied with her excuses.
This prompted commments including:
We learned a lot from you by seeing which questions weren't answered.

With all due respect Ms Harman, there were a number of simple 'yes or no' questions that you could have answered very quickly.

Is that it?

3 months until a general election and you have 1 hour to answer as many questions as you can on one of the biggest parenting websites in the country and that was it?? Disappointed to say the least and I am an undecided voter you have not helped at all today Harriet.

And so on... Harman eventually relented, with a moderator saying she would try and log on later to get through more queries.
To which Mumsnetter 'TheHoneyBadger' had this excellent comeback.
Is it possible to highlight our words in pink? maybe that would help ;)
Harman obviously forgot the first rule of the internet: never upset a honey badger.
