John Prescott appeared on the Today programme today (well, yesterday actually, since we’ve passed midnight). It’s always a treat, and as Ed points out, this is perhaps the first time he’s managed to attack the programme before the first question is asked.

And isn’t it right that he’s rewarded so handsomely for his efforts? After all, he’s such a professional.
