Jeremy Corbyn – 2024 Tribute to John Prescott

The tribute made by Jeremy Corbyn on 21 November 2024.

I am really sad to hear that John Prescott has passed away.

John was a huge figure and personality, from his seafaring union days to the highest offices in Government.

I will be forever grateful for his personal and political support in the 2017 and 2019 elections. His endless warmth and iconic wit were loved on the campaign trail.

My deepest sympathies to John’s family at their loss. He will be greatly missed.
