LONDON: Three more women, including a former airhostess, have made allegations of sexual harassment against Britain's Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott as he fights to retain his high-profile job after admitting that he had a two-year secret affair with his secretary Tracey Temple. Among those who made the allegations was a former journalist and Labour Party aide Tricia McDaid who accused him of making "lewd'' remarks and once turning up at her house late at night. Another former Labour activist who worked for Mr. Prescott when the party was in Opposition claimed that he had an affair with her. And a former air hostess alleged that he "misbehaved'' with her on a flight.
