John Prescott has responded to the extracts of Chris Mullin’s diary published at the weekend:
Anyway, I wonder if he mentions in his book about the time when I was called by security to the front of the department's building to deal with a tramp.
I turned up to discover security refusing to let in a man dressed in a thick overcoat, scarf, gloves and a wooly Russian cap that covered his face and ears.
I turned round to security and had to tell them: "That's no tramp, that's my junior minister - Chris Mullin.”
As Mullin says of Prescott:
hopelessly insecure and afraid of being shown up by his underlings.
If the story is true I would be amazed. Why would a Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State be called to resolve such a matter? What is the point of Prescott’s rebuttal, other to demonstrate Prescott sensitivity and his fondness for trivia.
Good joke John but silly! I just gives Mullin’s comments on him authenticity.
