"IT’S the end of the road for Two Jags. John Prescott, the former
deputy prime minister, this weekend lost his official Jaguar, driver
and four-strong security team.

"He was dropped off at his home in Hull yesterday for the last time by
his government driver and praised him as the best he had known during
his 10 years in the cabinet.

"The official car ferried him on vital matters of government business
- as well as a 200-yard journey at a seaside party conference to save
the bouffant hairdo of his wife Pauline.

"Prescott, who also owns his own Jaguar, lost his official car after a
review by the policy and security services.

"The royalty and ministerial visits committee, which made the
decision, is reviewing the protection granted to Margaret Beckett, the
former foreign secretary, and Sir John Major, the former Tory prime
minister.

Surely he should have lost the ministerial car the moment he stepped down
from the deputy leadership, as happens with all other ministers? Mind, you
he held on to his grace-and-favour residence, too, didn't he?

Shagging his secretary? - although in truth I suspect that was more
embarrassing for her than for him.

The problem was getting the paper bag big enough to go over Prescott's head.
