One of Mr Prescott’s previous sins was atoned for by David Blunkett this week. The former home secretary encountered the South Wales Argus reporter Mark Choueke in Tredegar and kissed him on both cheeks. Last week Choueke had the temerity to try to question Mr Prescott about a prominent local Labour figure who was standing against the party. Mr Prescott responded by dismissing the reporter as an amateur and telling him to “bugger off”. Mr Blunkett was more conciliatory. “Being from Yorkshire, I wanted to make amends on behalf of a friend of mine,” he said.”
