Prime Minister's Questions
No PMQs questions found for this MP.
Thank you for those words, which John's family will have heard. There are many Members of this House who serve their constituents faithfully. Some deliver change for the entire country. Very few enter into public consciousness, let alone public affection. But John Prescott achieved all those things. He was absolutely unique and people loved him for it.
Context
Following Speaker Lindsay Hoyle's statement about the death of former MP John Prescott, Keir Starmer provides a tribute to him.
N/A
John Prescott had an extraordinary life from failing his 11-plus to being deputy leader of the Labour party. He was a politician for working people through and through, serving Hull for four decades and leading on climate change, regional inequality, supporting the minimum wage, public transport transformation, council house building, and completing the channel tunnel. He brought people together in negotiations and within his own party, often challenging those he usually agreed with to improve the final outcome.

Important Context
- - Ministers answer questions rather than asking them, so have different activity patterns
- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
