* Harriet Harman has delayed her plans for 50% women in the shad cab.

* The government looks set to replace top-up fees with a graduate tax.

* Ed Miliband says that top universities are wrong to call for higher fees.

* But John Rentoul says that a graduate tax is a bad idea.

* And in his maiden speech, Lord Prescott attacked Gordon Brown for his “unrealistic” plans for climate change.
