Lord Prescott

Shagger Prescott is now Lord Shagger, which is nice because he always wanted to shag a lady. I won't go into how disgusted I am by this appointment, I'll just point you in the direction of Guy Aitchison who is disgusted enough for both of us.

Tavish Scott wants "Calman Plus"
So, the day after his deputy Michael Moore enters the UK Cabinet, the real boss - Tavish Scott - proposes "Calman Plus":
‘Lib Dems seek SNP deal’

But will the parliamentary Conservative Party be happy if the coalition government presents a Scotland Bill at Westminster based upon “Calman Plus”/Steel Commission, or would they prefer to stick to Danny Alexander’s original promise: the Calman report as published?
For background, here is the Steel Commission report:
‘The Steel Commission’
- Moving to Federalism - A New Settlement for Scotland

I wonder when the English Liberal Democrats will publish an Ashdown Commission or somesuch, proposing “A New Settlement for England”?
And Alex Salmond 'drops
And Alex Salmond 'drops independence for the time being'. I always thought that the Tories proposed white paper would go further than Calman on tax-raising powers, so I don't think they'll be unduly worried by this type of federalism - they need to absolve themselves of responsibility for Scotland as much as they possibly can.

And don't forget Common Purpose also came from this man's office.
