John Prescott: 'We had a really good relationship off camera', Lord Hague says

[@andrewmills509]

Nice to see politicians from different parties being nice and respectful to each other 👏👏👍 credit to Hague

[@OMahony2]

John Prescott was instrumental in negotiating the 1997 Kyoto Protocol on climate change. He brought two factions of the Labour Party together, and had he not, it would have been unelectable. He called out injustice frequently. He was not perfect, but achieved more than me or the many keyboard-warriors. He will be missed.

[@bw1376]

Yet he voted for the UK's illegal war in Iraq. Robin Cook was the last great Labour MP.

[@andybussa1323]

He achieved nothing, another over paid Muppet running the country to the ground while making a fortune ❤

[@visitforthemusic]

William Hague has grown on me. This was a warmhearted tribute.

[@satanismybrother]

It’s genuine. I’ve always seen him as a genuine guy even though I don’t agree with his policies.

[@Meld61]

The new Jaguar advert was the death of him .

[@rossij8]

I’m a right winger. John Prescott was one of the good characters RIP

[@bw1376]

Yes, Prescott did a great job at supporting the Iraq War.

[@rossij8]

@ maybe he was lied to as well

[@bw1376]

@@rossij8 Yeah, it's easy to tell yourself that rather than admit he was just in politics for what he could get out of it. He soon jumped into the House of Lords after he knew the Labour Party was going to lose to the Tories.

[@norelease2]

William Hague is classy in this interview

[@westminsterwatcher5152]

Thank goodness for civility! We need more of it!

[@eamonnpotts5063]

Hague must be in despair at the current tories! Long may they plummet!

[@degaulle30]

Agreed. A weak Tory party is good for the economy and public services. Long may it last

[@bw1376]

The latest IPSOS Poll has put the Tories ahead of Labour and Reform ahead of the Liberal Democrats.

[@christopherdonnellan4452]

Me thinks Bill was very gracious. Why the, obviously dispariging, Me Lord??.

[@Prasutagucaster]

When socialism stood for economic progressive fairness and not student politics and politicians with broken logic driven by deceit, lies and egotism.

[@pettetread5959]

Rubbish. He was a grifter in blaires crooked clown show. The nation is still struggling with the aftermath of the sleaziest government in UK political history and that's low.

[@bluebob81]

Hague, Prezza, few pints of Best. Would be a decebt evening

[@harryc8415]

Condolences to Johns family. Rest in peace.

[@MrBubba59]

My Lord?

[@jamesbomd3503]

I met this guy one day Before the lockdown on the Dark Street Late at night outside the British Museum where he'd been for some event And I told him point blank The country's gonna change we're gonna go into lockdown what surprised me was just how tall William Hague actually is Oh and he looked about 35

[@Markking1678]

He went down onto one knee, looked up to the stars and died. May he RIP

[@NickWestbrook-h6d]

Lord Prescott….. one of the last true political leaders, that truly had a voice for good….. love him…hate him…. what a magnificent people’s person… RIP to a great man…. I’ve never voted Labour…. never will, but respect the man and his convictions… Britain… could do with his wisdom right now.

[@indibhart5731]

A bit like me as I will never vote Tory/reform ❤

[@bw1376]

Yeah, we need another globalist shill that will blindly take us into another illegal war.

[@tommyrix7793]

Stop brown nosing he was a Liebour TRAITOR.

[@hissingsidll750]

RIP PETER LYNCH

[@chrishamlin4004]

I never voted Labour but respected him

[@michaelstanley3961]

Burley just doesn't understand how people get on outside of politics, explains a lot....RIP John

[@bw1376]

Burley knows exactly how it works, it is one big club and they're all working for the same globalists.

[@patrickculleton9939]

I always felt he was an angry, bitter man with a chip on his shoulder. Otherwise, RIP J P.

[@norelease2]

Charming

I was very .... very drunk

He was fun!

[@Redboy58]

Strange I’ve not heard him mentioned for years ???? But he was a hell of a chap 🙂

RIP John

[@carlcooper-h1k]

for what ? having a hand in making our UK unstable today. Disgraceful legacy.

[@MrMKiani]

Lord Hague and Prescott??? Naw. But Hague can say anything now knowing there is no right of reply.

[@coffeeboyclips1973]

Didnt he go to war with iraq, how can people see him as a good guy

[@bw1376]

He is a "good guy" because he did exactly what his globalist backers asked him to do.

[@assuredr]

youy

[@wiseget-f7e]

He should of been sharing a cell with Blair, Brown and Skidmark Starmer!

[@kb4903]

Why?

[@martinogold]

@@kb4903 Blair is a war criminal. Not sure about the other two.

[@Talus-hallux1]

Old timers and old world politicians are amiss on the current political landscape.

The butcher of Baghdad.

[@bigbong620]

Should have been tried years ago along with Blair, Alastair Campbell, and the rest of that New Labour rabble.

[@michaelhamilton1357]

It’s just a pity that he will miss out seeing Trump and Musk show that his whole life, world and beliefs were hypocritical

[@paulshorney3465]

Blair's mate. Say no more 🤬🤬🤬

[@nigellee9824]

Because some over blown asbeen think he was a great man, doesn't make it so...

Prescott and Hague both useless both ended up with comfortable berths in the lords , it’s a sick joke.

[@ttube111]

War criminals

[@boum62]

What was good about this man ??? What happened to the uk whilst he and blair decided to take part in useless wars ?,? He was a fat slob. Just about able to string a sentence together.

[@richarddeturner]

Woohooo what a wonderful day now lets just hope Blair and Brown follow suit SOON.
