He accuses Jon Cruddas of throwing a strop.
He says the party would get on better without these groups looking at policy.
He says he worked out all his policies himself and just handed them over to the civil service and told them to get on with it (as if the civil service works that way! - and in any case I cannot think of a single Prescott policy that was successful).
There seems to be three camps in the Labour party arguing over policy - the left, the right, and the expedients (like Lord Prescott) who think you should just make it up as you go along.
To be fair to Mr Cruddas, he was asked by the Labour party to work on policy.
