|
John Prescott has said he will stand down as an MP at the next election.
The former deputy prime minister made the announcement at a weekend garden party, the chairman of the Hull East Labour Party, Steve Brady, said.
Mr Prescott, 69, who has been an MP for 37 years, said it had been a "huge privilege" to serve his constituency in the House of Commons.

He could be waiting two years? At least he will be able to sleep more if he goes to the "House Of Lords".  |

Despite the jokes and disparaging comments, he has been a good constituency MP, we'll be lucky to get anyone anywhere near as good.

Yes you are correct, at least he has helped Labour to be in government. |

If you wait long enough, every victory turns to defeat. |
