Ming may have had a disappointing night but he has succeeded in discovering what John Prescott will be doing now that the Deputy PM has lost all of his departmental responsibilities to Ruth Kelly. Ming found the Deputy PM's new office in Twickenham. It looks like a hairdressers!

I've seen a picture of this establishment somewhere else quite recently - Private Eye, perhaps?

I hope he's declared it in the list of members interests!

Bearing in mind the demographics of the employees, he's chosen his investment well.

its actually a bookseller
Posted by: tom | May 05, 2006 at 15:23
By a strange coincidence (given the foreground) I'm pretty sure it was in the marvellous Eye edition published at the height - it that's quite the word - of the Lib Dem leadership contest. The one with Ming and his fellow hopefuls on the front cover engaging in some witty repartee (which I won't repeat on a family blog).

"It looks like a hairdressers!"
The prospect of free haircuts may well win Pauline back I guess...
Posted by: Daniel Vince-Archer | May 05, 2006 at 16:48
According to the BBC, with virtually all of the results in, the Lib Dems managed to make a terrific, a magnificent, net gain of ONE (count it) ONE councillor.
They must be so proud...
Posted by: Elena | May 05, 2006 at 17:10
Probably not such a bad result for the LDs. With a Tory revival and the weakening of the Iraq war effect, not to mention their recent troubles, why was anyone ever expecting anything more for them?
Posted by: Andrew | May 05, 2006 at 17:13
A net one Councillor is a stunning achievement for them. I can imagine them excitedly calling home right now "Mummy, Mummy, we won a seat!!!".
Posted by: James Maskell | May 05, 2006 at 17:13
Andrew, I think the Lib Dems were hoping for a GE 2005 scenario - being able to pick up seats in traditional Labour areas because of being the natural "protest vote" on the left. Unfortunately for them, that's not happened. In these elections, more people seem to have switched directly from Labour to Conservative, which is quite surprising but a welcome surprise.

Maybe John Prescott's still there to get the beer and sandwiches in - Chief Steward.
