Indeed, and its not people in Hull he would be influencing. I'm not suggesting for one minute that Prescott has used his position to sway the funders from NHS but he would know some fairly senior people to have conversations with if he chose to.

Didn't mind him actually, never been my MP (was stuck with the beyond awful Townsend when I lived over there) but quite liked the way he ruffled the public school boy's feathers, and he liked a bit of a groove.

Never thought about the influence angle (never having had any!) but it does make sense.

As former Deputy PM and Secretary of State , Prescott can be included amongs the Labour Big Hitters - so he will have numerous contacts and areas of influence.

Thanks for repeating what i said!

Yes, you've all pointed out what a divot I've been, as you where.

try throwing an egg at him, youll soon feel his power....

Another crap trolling attempt... like my sig says "u really are uneducated arent u..."
