So John Prescott’s suddenly outed as having had an affair. Sadly unsurprising for those who hang around the coat-tails of power.
Most surprising was the Sun’s Tevor Kavanagh on the radio today declaring that Prescott’s multiple infidelities were “open knowledge” in the Palace of Westminster. This surely means that the dogs are now loose and no stone will go unturned in verifying rumours, innuendos and lies.
But why now? A cynical part of Recess Monkey suspects this is a well-timed distraction from Charles Clarke’s current worries.

Doesn’t the fearless Recess Monkey know the names?

Anyone else spotted the recent question from Eric Pickles (Brentwood & Ongar)?
“To ask the Deputy Prime Minister whether he plans to commemorate his anniversary of 10 years as Deputy Prime Minister” (66225)
I bet this wasn’t the way he was hoping to mark the event…

It is too trivial for anybody to give a s**t but I suppose the prurient TV and Sport Comics will be all over it.

Pauline doesn’t think it “too trivial” you snob. Most of us read those “TV and Sport Comics”.

Haven’t seen many “two shags” jokes yet. Maybe it’s just too horrible a thought for people to go anywhere near it. Or alternatively there have been so many politicians sleeping with their secretaries that its now rather boring.

I think “two bags” jokes would be more appropriate. One for her, and one for him, in case hers falls off.
