According to Hilary Benn, John Prescott is the right man for his job
John Prescott is “getting on with the job” as deputy prime minister and is the right man for it, International Development Secretary Hilary Benn said.
Mr Benn was defending his colleague as politicians and commentators continued to question his position.
He said Mr Prescott’s role in chairing committees tasked with delivering aid to Indonesia following the earthquake had been ignored by the media.
I see. And Prescott is the right man for all of this? Er, remind me, if he is so good, why did the PM strip him of his department?
Mr Benn went on to blame a bank holiday shortage of news for the media’s decision to keep “going after” Mr Prescott on Monday.
Ah… nothing to do with him being a bombastic, incompetent, bullying sexual predator, then?
