Prescott accepts peerage

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/politics/10550850.stm

Well having spent quite a lot of time berating the House of Lords what else did we expect?

http://www.freedomrebels.co.uk/magaz...-says_646.html

Of course he's only there to fight the good fight on behalf of the poor and underprivileged so no doubt he'll stick to that most worthy aim, be sensitive to the plight of those he claims to represent and won't be taking maximum advantage of all those nice privileges his new title affords and that we're all paying for...... :rolleyes:

Maybe he heard the Lords' canteen had exceptional sausage rolls?

Re: Prescott accepts peerage

More likely the knowledge there was a canteen was a big decider for him :).

In true man style he blamed it on the missus. Like the fact he doesn't want to walk a few yards.

Prescott accepts EXPENSES

Yes I know it's the Sun so it's almost certainly total rubbish but I couldn't resist:

Quote:

JOHN Prescott has claimed nearly Â£800 a day in House of Lords expenses, it emerged yesterday.

The former Deputy PM - seen boxing in TV ads for a website - spent 13 working days in the Lords between getting ennobled on July 8 and the end of September last year.

In that period, he claimed Â£10,016 - or Â£770 a day, figures published by Parliament show. Half the claims were for office costs.

Nearly Â£2,500 was for "overnight subsistence", which is Â£121.50 a day.

A further Â£1,125 was for "day subsistence", which covers meals and travel to and from work - worth Â£90.50 a day.

Now I was under the impression that, after a lifetime of opposing the 'other place', he only accepted his peerage to please his wife. Expenses were clearly nothing whatsoever to do with it then... :rolleyes:

Re: Prescott accepts peerage

If you're going to berate someone it helps to be in the same room. :smokin:
