John Prescott.

John Prescott had died aged 86 of dementia. Well known for his somewhat dubious views on things when Deputy Prime Minister!.

I'd say well known for bridging the centre and left of the labour party with pretty good effect. I'd also say one of a rare few politicians who put the job before themselves.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.

Yep, a decent chap was 'Old Thumper."
Not afraid to speak his mind when needed and skilled in finding common ground.
A skill-set sadly lacking from many of today's political elite...
Critically observing Pension regulatory activity... :D

Very well said, Gareth :clap:

At least you could never accuse him of wearing the mask of Janus ;)

Agree. Never been and never will be a Labour voter but you knew where you stood with him (as with Tony Benn) - unlike the present incumbants.
