Prescott’s class act

Editor

The words ‘Prescott’ and ‘grapples’ conjure up the most unsavoury of images, involving the former deputy PM and his diary secretary Tracey Temple, so it is a relief - almost - to learn that in his new BBC2 programme the only thing he is grappling with is “political apathy, middle-class syntax, snobbery and the wealth gap in modern Britain”. There is, of course, only one thing to be said about class, and Eleanor Roosevelt said it best. Money, on the other hand, is a more complex subject, with many laws.
