Clearly John Prescott is up to his ears in the Anschutz Scandal, and clearly he has had numerous affairs with women in and around the Westminster world, so now is the time for him to step down before more damage is done to the government.

Now I know the Tory Bloggers are after a scalp, they know they have the momentum (and not just politically; I'm sure this scandal has boosted their profile no end), and they can certainly smell blood; but they are, at the end of the day, right.  Prescott is a promiscuous bumbling embarrassment to the Labour Party.

If I had multiple affairs in my workplace I would be fired.  Let's get this straight once and for all: Prescott, as an MP, is paid from the treasury purse.  He is an employee of the country, as was Tracey Temple, as is the other alleged woman.  They are guilty of bringing their respective offices into disrepute.  This is not, as Labour MP's never tire of claiming, just a family matter.

Also it is increasing clear that his office was involved in the decisions (directly or indirectly), as to where "Super Casinos" will be built and to whom they be licensed to.

The internal leadership conflict within the cabinet, and the reluctance of Blair to lose his deputy, should not influence standards. Prescott must go.
