I read that John Prescott has "this weekend lost his official Jaguar, driver and four-strong security team".
This man has been probably the most useless Government Minister in history, his policies have been, almost without exception, either badly thought out, ineptly implemented or massively over budget and often all three. John Prescott is not a lovable rogue as Tony Blair intimated when he said "John is John" after John Prescott assaulted a member of the public. John Prescott is a thug with a massive class war chip on his shoulder who was promoted to wield power way above his ability to do so and kept this important role in Government because he was Tony Blair's link to the grassroots of the Labour Party and because of what he knew.

There are several candidates for the title of "most useless" - was John Prescott really worse than the disgraceful David Blunkett or the not fit for purpose John Reid, both of whom cocked things up at several Ministries ?
"badly thought out, ineptly implemented or massively over budget and often all three" also applies to Gordon Brown's policies like Working Tax Credits, when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer, who also managed to wrap up all his policies in reams of extra bureaucratic red tape and form filling.
I disn't say that JP had had no competition but I do think that he has been spectatcularly inept.
