John Prescott indeed left an indelible mark on British politics. His passing at 86 is a tremendous loss. As Deputy Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007, he played a pivotal role in shaping the country's policies, particularly in areas like environment, transport, and regional development .

Angela Rayner is shaping up to be a worthy candidate to take the baton from JP and keep that spirit alive.

A giant in our party. The perfect bridge between old and New Labour. Rest in peace John.

A very sad day for the UK and those beneath the heel of capitalist greed.

Capitalist greed ? What's that ?
Is it where the non greedy politicians don't take money from donors to legislate for them and cover their ass?

The last time I saw him he was in a shop in Hull. He was very frail and was sitting at the exit waiting for whoever he was with. Every single person who left the shop shook his hand on the way out.

Every time he opened his mouth I wanted him to shut up. However, bless him, and I wish his family well.

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social husband gave John Prescott & Alistair lift from Trimdon (June 1995 anniversary of leadership) to Darlington Station along back road with only 12min to train. Alistair hangs on for life & John says “it’s fine Alistair you’re ok this guy drives ambulance for a living.”
