After studying the report of John Prescott's visit to Rhyl, I wonder if, during a boxing match, commentators describing a dangerous short left jab landing on an opponent will call it "a Prescott".

I was pleased he used the left. It would have been politically incorrect for a Labourite to have used the right.

John Prescott should be foreign secretary. When there is trouble with our EU partners, he could flatten the debate in ten seconds flat. It certainly would prove the old adage that actions speak louder than words.
