What Harman really said: some alternative versions
What did the deputy Labour leader say while she watched footage of the Glasgow East defeat?
Yesterday The Times reported that she said “This is my moment” - a claim which she subsequently denied. Today the paper is reporting a slightly different phrase: “This is my time”.
Both are feasible given Harman’s well-known ambition.
Memories may be frayed given Labour’s tired and emotional state last Friday. In the unlikely event that we ever know the truth, here are some alternative interpretations:
“This is a (big) moment”
“This is momentously bad”
“This is David Miliband’s time”
“This is (insert name of realistic world leader)’s time”
“This is my timepiece”
”This is my thyme”
“This is my time…to get the drinks in”
“This is my time…to go to bed”
Not bad… but not as good as this
