The same John Prescott who repeatedly said he would refuse a peerage?

A politician whose morals last as long as it takes for something to be waved in front of his nose. That's a rarity...

What is so bad about his morals, why are they so different?

To me Prescott is the quintessential Champagne Socialist.

In other news David Laws has been caught with his fingers well and truly in the till. Nice actions to try and make up but a tad too late I feel.

David Laws has now resigned.

Now being said that Danny Alexander to take up his role.

I wonder how many more of these the ToryGraph has squirreled away, just waiting to de-rail a coalition they don't agree with?

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
 

Indeed. Rather convenient timing, wasn't it.

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
 

Presumably he hasn't refused the peerage..

A little hypocritical considering he said he would.

Re: [Update] The Liberal-Conservative Coalition
 

Well if he does accept it'd be typical of him and many of his New Labour colleagues - past and present.

Which kind of begs the question, how many are they not telling us about? How much will they never tell us?

A little self-serving perhaps, but immoral? I don't think so.

How many more excuses to we need for MPs fiddling their expenses. This forum was the last place I would have expected to read support for a MP caught flipping and renting.
