John Prescott’s son David suspended as communications manager to Corbyn’s shadow cabinet over allegation amid Westminster sexual harassment scandal

The son of former deputy Prime Minister John Prescott has been suspended from his job as communications chief to the shadow cabinet amid the Westminster sexual harassment scandal.

David Prescott, who used to work as speechwriter for Jeremy Corbyn, was removed from his job in the past few days following a complaint to the leader’s office. 

The precise details of the allegation are not known, but it comes as claims of sexual harassment and abuse sweep through the Palace of Westminster. 

A Labour Party spokesman refused to confirm the suspension saying they do not comment on staffing matters.

Speaking more generally, he added: ‘The party takes all complaints of sexual harassment, abuse and discrimination extremely seriously.

‘We ask that anyone with a complaint comes forward so that allegations can be properly investigated.

‘When evidence of misconduct comes to light, all appropriate disciplinary action is taken in line with the party’s rule book and procedures.’
