Polititians under pressure

Two stories in the papers this morning that show the pressure that polititians are under in this 24/7 media age.

John Prescott,whose autobiography is to be serialised in the Sunday Times reveals that he has suffered from bulima for 17 years

“People normally associate it with young women - anorexic girls, models trying to keep their weight down, or women in stressful situations, like Princess Diana.
“I could sup a whole tin of Carnation condensed milk, just for the taste, stupid things like that. Marks & Spencer trifles, I still love them, one of my favourites. I can eat them for ever. Whenever I go to Mr Chu’s in Hull, my favourite Chinese restaurant in the whole world . . . I could eat my way through the entire menu.”


Meanwhile defense secretary Des Browne has taken a week off apparently after a mauling on the Today programme
