Prezza's people's flats are their castles

You have to give John Prescott some credit for trying to help Labour get a fourth term in office but his current effort is unlikely to resonate with anyone other than the most dyed-in-the-wool folk who think the prospects of a Conservative government will spell the end of civilisation as we know it.

Part of his criticism is countered by the response that Grant Shapps was reported to have made in THIS report:

"Interviewed in the London section of (last Sunday's) Politics Show Shapps addressed some of the issues. He said right at the start that he envisaged more social housing being built under a Conservative government, as part of an increase in house-building across the board. So how would this expansion come about?

Shapps confirmed that he would dispense with centrally-set targets for home-building and replace them with incentives. He said that threatening the tenure security enjoyed by current social housing occupants is "the last thing we want to do," but added that he "hadn't even got into" the matter of changing conditions of tenure for newcomers to that sector in the future...

So, has Prezza (see his house in Hull pictured above) just got his knickers in a twist?

Is John Prescott long for this world?

Judging by the Great Dissembler's performance on Hard Talk he is not likely to last out until the next general election.

As a fellow Type 2 diabetes sufferer I know that John needs to avoid stress otherwise he is going to pop his clogs very soon.

+++EXCLUSIVE: John Prescott takes second job+++

It has been reported that John Prescott has been forced to get a second job by his wife Pauline as they will no longer be able to claim the costs of additional mock Tudor beams to the exterior of their mansion in Hull. She has been reported to say that: "We had planned to complete the very tasteful upgrading of our humble little home by the time John retires as an MP in May of next year. But these dreadful and wholly unsubstantiated revelations from that right-wing, anti-Labour newspaper, the Daily Bellylaugh, has now put paid to that. John will have to keep working well into his seventies as we will not be able to maintain the standard of living to which I have become accustomed. We won't even be able to afford my daily hairdressing bill on the meagre pension of an ex-Cabinet minister."

A one-sided conversation with Prescott? No, really?

I didn't hear the old bruiser on this morning's Today programme so I thought I'd listen to it via the Labour Go Fourth website. What did I get? A film of 'JP' being interviewed by John Humphrys but without the questions! Still, it's good value just to watch the silly old fart having a moan about his old colleagues in the Cabinet not pulling their weight.

John Prescott goes fourth - and whips up apathy in Liverpool

If this doesn't make you want to vote Labour, I don't know what will.

John Prescott goes forth and unmasks the evil Tories

Just for fun I want to see if this latest little ruse by that old Labour bruiser, John Prescott actually works if you download it from his Go Fourth site.

Update: Apparently it doesn't!

Prescott continues to mangle the English language

I just want to punch the old Labour git in the face!

Sorry Pauline! But he does rather ask for it, doesn't he?
