Back to the future for Erin O'Connor Step forward, Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York, who writes for the Sunday edition of The Sun. "The archbishop is an old mate of John's so it's different," Prescott's man tells me. He will not have a word said against him. Prescott, when he was a power in the land, backed the establishment of the Archbishop Sentamu Academy in east Hull. Sally is sacked A week after I disclosed how officials at the Palace of Westminster were fretting that Sally Bercow, the Speaker's wife, might use her grandstand view of the Queen's visit to Westminster Hall to inform her dreadful Daily Star on Sunday column, it has been dropped. She maintains the decision was taken by the newspaper on economic grounds. Started last September, its demise represents the latest in a series of setbacks in Mrs Bercow's media career. Last year, it emerged that she had been banned from reviewing the newspapers on both the BBC News Channel and Sky. The former took exception to her for being "too overtly political." The latter never forgave her for seeing the "funny side" of a story about children being "groomed" for sex in Blackpool takeaways. The lesson to be learnt from it, the brassy Mrs Bercow joshed, was a simple one. "Don't go for a takeaway in Blackpool," she said with a grin.
