Out Of Hospital And Into Ministerial Apartment But Not For Long

First I blogged about Prescott going to hospital, then following reports that he had pneumonia I wished him well - and now he has been released from hospital:

“Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott has been sent home from hospital after being treated for pneumonia.
Mr Prescott’s condition will continue to be monitored by University College Hospital, London.
A spokesman for the deputy prime minister said he would rest and recover in his Admiralty House apartment.” (BBC)

Well, just so long as he is out of his grace-and-favour apartment in just over two weeks, it’s fine. He officially leaves his job and ministerial perks on 27 June, the same day as Tony Blair, when a new deputy leader of the Labour Party [and potential Deputy Prime Minister] takes over.

The sooner this farce of a transition period is over and we can stop having two “Prime Ministers” the better. Only 7 days of political paralysis left!
