Former Labour Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott Dies

News summary

John Prescott, the former Deputy Prime Minister of the UK and a key figure in Tony Blair's New Labour government, has passed away at the age of 86 after battling Alzheimer's. Known for his direct demeanor and strong working-class roots, Prescott played a crucial role in modernizing the Labour Party and bridging traditional left-wing ideals with contemporary perspectives. His political career was marked by a mix of charm and controversy, including an infamous incident in 2001 where he punched a protester who threw an egg at him. Despite facing personal scandals later in life, he secured his legacy as a significant player in Labour's electoral successes from 1997 to 2007. Prescott's journey from a working-class background to a prominent political role reflected the dynamic evolution of the Labour Party during his tenure. His outspoken nature and sometimes tumultuous relationship with the press earned him the nickname 'two Jags', highlighting both his persona and his commitment to the party's grassroots values.
