Harriet Harman has last laugh on Sun

Harriet Harman had the last laugh on the Sun today in her closing speech at the Labour Party conference.
She poked fun at the paper, which on page 3 today had a topless model described as "Harriet from Peckham" (Harman's constituency) making the paper's "news in briefs" comment.
Harman told the conference: "We have made progress on equality, even in the Sun. On page three today there's a young woman who's really concerned about jobs for women as well as men. And what a coincidence - she's called Harriet, aged 20, from Peckham.
"The only problem is that Harriet is so concerned about jobs that she's forgotten to put her clothes on."
