Harriet Harman has criticised one of Ireland's leading quality newspapers after it appeared to airbrush women out of the history of the country's peace process.

The Sunday Business Post Magazine illustrated a feature about the legacy of the Good Friday Agreement with portrait shots of six men on its front page last weekend. The cover picture, which included Tony Blair, Gerry Adams, Ian Paisley and Bertie Ahern, left out Mo Mowlam, the former Labour MP and Northern Ireland secretary who is credited with laying the groundwork for Blair.

"They should've put Mo Mowlam in this pic," said Harman in a tweet. "So we could remember what she did and all the other women who played their part in the peace process!"
