I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of John Prescott. John was a true giant of the Labour movement. He was a staunch defender of working people and a proud trade unionist.
His passion, force of personality and pride in his working-class roots was key to his authenticity an honesty that was recognised and respected across the political divide and across the nation.
Across the Labour Party and the union movement he will be remembered for his conviction, courage and strength of character. His legacy will live on well beyond his lifetime.
He possessed an inherent ability to connect. He fought for people and worked to improve the landscape of British politics. His contributions were immense.
