Never mind the mistresses, look at the policy failures says MatGB.

Here's the bulk of his impressive list (which draws upon a list by Tim Montgomerie)

Council Tax rates have effectively doubled for most people in the last ten years, and the short term bribe in the 2005 budget for pensioners was abolished this year.
The Standards Board for England is an anti-democratic monstrosity that puts those we elect at the control of quangocrats. Ken shouldn't have been suspended; it's teh electors job to fire him, no one else's
Postal voting has been pushed and pushed and pushed. Make no mistake, the facility for the frail and housebound to vote by post is essential. But everyone else should go to the polling booth. Fraud allegations are perpetual, and very worrying.
Integrated transport policy? Anyone remember this one? We were going to cut car use (its risen), improve railways (um...), improve availability, etc. Me? I'd love to travel by bus instead of driving most mornings. Not going to happen, even with a half price bus pass from work.
Strategic Rail Authority. Yes, well, enough said there, when Transport was removed from his control (let's face it, he wasn't up to it), Darling abolished the waste of money that it was.
The Thames Gateway city project. Combined with the demolish half the north project. Very little has effectively been done to encourage people to live, work, set up offices in, etc in areas outside of the SE. The SE can't handle more people effectively, water supplies are limited, housing density growing, etc. The North? Emptying. The SW? Full of second homes, holiday homes, etc. Empirical evidence for the latter? There is no way that my I could, even if I doubled my salary, afford a mortgage on the house my father was born in. Why? Holiday homes. Honest John's fault.
The England Problem. A perpetual topic on here, but John was given the task of sorting out devolution in England. What did we get? Devolution from the centre? No. We got another local government reorganisation offered, with virtually no devolved power, a White Elephant. The boundaries he's using are over 50 years old and outdated, based on bureacratic, treasury need rather than local lines. Horrible mess. The worst is he's effectively killed off any arguments for decent, genuine devolution from Westminster to any form of regional or provincial assemblies, which would be a genuine (and to my mind good) solution to the West Lothian Question.

There seems to be the greater part of a manifesto in the list of Prescott's sins of omission.

On the Thames Gateway, I have more reservations. First the failure to incorporate low energy designs

Last year the World Wide Fund for Nature withdrew from John Prescott's housing steering group "in despair" at what it thought was the government's failure to encourage more energy-efficient homes in the Thames Gateway.

Second the poor design being promoted there - on which this spiked article makes a lot of the points that need to be made

Unfortunately, the government’s response to pressure from the Urban Task Force and others has been to promise ‘affordable housing’. This is all based on a confused idea that housing need is all at the lower end of the market. But this has the effect, noted in the IPPR’s survey, that people expect the new homes in the Thames Gateway to be sub-standard, even to turn into ethnic ghettos. As the report’s authors say, people want affordable housing (which is something of a platitude, anyway, since nobody wants not to be able to afford a home), but they do not want to live in something called ‘affordable housing’.
