Will Prescott be moved upstairs?

As the landscape appears to be moving towards an emphatic 'No' vote rumours are rife over Prescott's future.
The imposition of unwanted elected assemblies has been his 'baby' for many years and he will carry the blame for the abject failure of this unwanted and shambolic referendum campaign.
The cost of Prescott's folly will be borne by the taxpayer, but it is he who will end up with a very costly egg on his face.
Don't be surprised if he moves to the Lords.

MP SAYS HE HAS NO PLANS TO STEP DOWN

09:30 - 20 October 2004
John Prescott has stepped in to quash rumours he is considering standing down as Hull East MP ahead of the General Election. Speculation has surrounded the Deputy Prime Minster's candidacy following a weekend newspaper report.However, a spokesman for Mr Prescott today emphatically denied the claims and said Mr Prescott would stand again.He said there was never any question of him standing down.But he refused to be drawn on whether this would be Mr Prescott's last election campaign.He said: "Mr Prescott is going to stand again as a Labour Party candidate in Hull East, where he hopes to be re-elected."According to a Labour Party spokesman, the Deputy Prime Minister was officially reselected to stand as the Hull East candidate some months ago by the local Labour Party.He added: "That position has now also been endorsed by the regional Labour Party."The news comes weeks after Prime Minister Tony Blair said he would leave office after serving a full third term, if Labour won the next election.

They'll have to rename it the House of Lard when he gets there.

Was it Prescott who was replaced by a tub of lard, when he failed to show for "Have I Got News for You"(?)?

If he's moved upstairs, they may have to strengthen the floor. More expense.
