Questions to the Deputy Prime Minister

Tabled for answer on Wednesay: Hugh Robertson (Faversham & Mid Kent): Whether his new office will have a diary secretary.

Likely answer: This information can only be provided at disproportionate cost. Oops, forgot. It's an Oral Question. Well it would be, wouldn't it?

That's childish, purile, a waste of Parliamentary time and very, very funny.

On Wednesday, perhaps the opposition benches could wave their pinkie fingers, instead of waving their order papers.

I can't wait until William Hague gets a chance to go up against Prescott again. Tony Blair won't be missing PMQs for some time I think!

Hmm... as funny as it is, i hope there will be some more serious questions asked, such as whether it is true MI5 hid a tape from the enquiry?

Didn't somebody end up in court recently for filming up women's skirts? So is it legal to put your hand up women's skirts? Jaci Stephen's, the ITV TV critic was assaulted by Prescott in this way, at a Christmas party hosted by Lord Birt, according to the latest edition of Private Eye. And Prescott is STILL a member of the British Government?

enough already
somebody has to make a complaint to the police, not necessarily the victim, it would be interesting if somebody reported the sexual assault that carried out upon austin Mitchell's wife, even if she brushes it off as the kind of thing that happened in the 1970's, it was still a crime, so anybody brave enough to report it please do.

Love the question, can't wait to hear the answer!

What I would also like to know is what JP has got on Blair for him still to have his DPM title, lovely new offices and even lovelier huge salary and perks.

Whilst Prescott remains in office there is a stain across every Labour MP. Every single one of them is tarnished by association with this man. Next time we hear one of them pontificating about "this great party of ours", or pretending they have principles and integrity, we will remember that they have supported him remaining as Deputy Prime Minister.

Every time we hear a Labour MP pretending to care about pensioners, or the plight of the low-paid, we will remember that the income tax and VAT extorted from those people is ending up in the pocket of John Prescott - and the MP is complicit in this.

I wonder they can sleep at night....

Nice to see the diaries in the Sun and the Times ran this story.

No hat tips from them I guess...
