Nice work if you can get it eh flip-flop!


Did you notice he said this morning that Blair should stay because a leadership change would be too disruptive.


Do you get the impression that was pary of the deal?

OK jno, let's try another angle.....can any of the left leaning abers defend this outrage?
You are most definitely not alone flip-flop.

Read in the Times a few days ago, a quote from a woman who is currently writing some legislation on equality and womens rights for this Blair government. She recounted how about 30 years ago she opened the door to Mr Prescott in some office and she had not seen him before and he pushed her against the wall and put his hand up her skirt. this is not from someone who was squealing for some money, she is currently a senior official of this govt and she was also named. Lefties here on AB and maybe JNO who is so quick to jump to Prescotts rescue (you really should stop reading poetry now) may wish to trawl through this weeks Times.


Besides if The PM thinks that his deputy does a great job of keeping his party together why should we the taxpayer pay for it?? Blair was always a unscrouplous man, many on this site have recounted events and past mistakes of this man, but he is such a glib talker that many have been fooled. He is dishonest and a war monger who will do anything to get his way.

The argument seems to be that JP is still 'working very hard', although I wonder if it more a done deal that his potentially lethal memoirs are left unpublished until the current incumbants are settled in the lords, and out of the way?


Cynical? Moi?

Not one for letting Tony off the hook but let's remember that Mr Prescott is an employee of, and was elected into his job, by the Labour Party and not by the Prime Minister.
Tony Bliar is stuck with him, and in spite of his many faults John Prescott still has many friends and supporters who prefer his brand of politics to the rubbish that we have to tolerate nowadays.
I think its disgraceful! This man is revolting and has made this already foolish government look even more foolish (if thats possible) on more than one occasion. Talk about feathering your own nest!!! Nice work if you can get it hey!!!!!!
as far as I am concerned Prescott is no worse than that Tory David Mellor (who was said to make love to his mistress in a Chelsea strip).. and I can't help suspecting that the real reason they became figures of fun was not that they had affairs but that they seem physically unattractive. Cecil Parkinson got a lot of stick for his affair, but not the derision, because he was quite good looking. I couldn't care less about the sex lives of any of them, nor about whether they did it in grace and favour residences. But I entirely agree with you about the pension, flip-flop. <loud crash as Dom Tuk collapses in disbelief>

As I've said before im a conservative voter so I have a vested interest in this discredited bunch leaving office ASAP, however, I think that blair is scared of prescott, because he (JP) as been an MP for decades he knows things that could really be a pain to the govt.


One thing I dont understand is, if Prescott is the deputy prime minister, shouldnt he be the PM when teflon tony stands down? I mean thats what deputies do isnt it? why is it automaticaly assumed that brown will be the next PM, shouldnt the party members have a say or has it been "rubber stamped"? thats not what I call democracy

i think we need to go down there and hurl some more tomatoes at him. i would love to see that expression on his face again... classic!
Be more in keeping if he was pelted with cocktail sausages !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zen & Fideldyfee


Why the government put him in some stocks and pelt him with tomatoes and cocktail sausages!


OR better still get Mrs Prescott to pelt him with them?

she probably already has!!!! with bricks!!!!
