Baron Prescott, Baron Prescott (born 31 May 1938), is a British politician who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997 to 2007.

He served Kingston on Hull East from 1970 to 2010.

He ran for both Leader and Deputy Leader of the Labour Party in the 1994 leadership race, winning the election in the latter category.

Since Labour's victory in the 1997 election, he was named Deputy Prime Minister after Labour's landslide in 1997, with an extended brief as Secretary of State for Environment, Transport, and the Regions. By the 1990s, a former ship's steward and trade union activist was viewed as the party's political link to the working class in a Labour party that was increasingly led by urbanizing middle-class professionals, such as Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson.

He failed the eleven-plus exam entrance exam for grammar school in his youth, but he went on to graduate from Ruskin College and the University of Hull.

Prescott also forged a reputation as a key mediator in the often tumultuous relationship between Prime Minister Tony Blair and Exchequer Gordon Brown. He resigned as Deputy Prime Minister on June 27, 2007, coinciding with Blair's resignation as Prime Minister.

Harriet Harman was named as the deputy leader of Labour after an internal election.

Prescott resigned as an MP at the 2010 election.

He returned to politics as the first Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside Police on July 8, 2010, but lost to Conservative Matthew Grove on Sunday.

Early life

Preston, Wales, the grandson of a miner and railway signalman, and Labour councillor John Herbert Prescott, were among the sons of a miner and Labour councillor, and Phyllis. "I've always been proud of Wales and being Welsh," he said, despite being Welsh...I was born in Wales, went to school in Wales, and my mother was Welsh. I'm Welsh. "It's my place of birth and my world." He left Wales at the age of four in 1942 and was brought up in Brinsworth, England, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. He attended Brinsworth Manor School, where he sat for the 11-Plus examination to attend Rotherham Grammar School in 1949, but he missed the 11-Plus examination. His family migrated to Upton-by-Chester shortly afterwards, and he attended Grange Secondary Modern School in Ellesmere Port.

Prescott was a popular left-wing union activist who served for Cunard as a steward and waiter in the Merchant Navy, thus avoiding National Service. Prescott's time in the Merchant Navy included a trip from England to New Zealand in 1957. Former British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden, who was recovering from his departure due to the Suez Crisis, was one of the passengers. Eden was reportedly described as a "true gentleman" by Prescott. Prescott also won several boxing competitions, which Eden awarded the prizes, apart from serving Eden, who remained in his cabin for a long time. On November 11, 1961, Pauline "Tilly" Tilston married Pauline "Tilly" Tilston at Upton Church in Chester. He later enrolled at Ruskin College, which specialises in union studies, where he earned a diploma in economics and politics in 1965. He received a BSc degree in economics and economic history from the University of Hull in 1968.

Life after government

Following Tony Lloyd's resignation, the Council of Europe's Lead UK Representative will take over from Tony Lloyd. Shadow Europe Minister Mark Francois wished the translators well in his humpback in reaction to their appointment. The post is unpaid, but it has an expense allowance and allows him to sit on the Western European Union's Assembly. He has made his campaign against slave labour a deciding issue in his tenure on the council.

Prescott declared on August 27th that he would stand down as an MP at the upcoming general election. Prezzo, My Story: Pulling No Punches was published on May 29, 2008, and Hunter Davies ghostwritten it. Prescott toured the United Kingdom in a branded white transit van named his "Battlebus" canvassing for Labour Party voters during the 2010 general election campaign. Prescott was known to be a "global giant" who was publicly supportive of Gordon Brown.

Prescott was selected for a lifetime peerage in the 2010 Dissolution Honours, and the peerage was revealed on May 28th. In interviews, Prescott has said that he is not religious. During his investiture in the House of Lords, he opted for a non-religious solemn declaration rather than swearing an oath. On July 8, Baron Prescott, of Kingston upon Hull, York, was inducted into the House of Lords on July, and the Letters Patent was published on July 12th.

Prescott is the founder of Hull Kingston Rovers, a rugby league club based in Kingston upon Hull East, who are based in his former constituency of Kingston. Prescott ran for Labour Party Treasurer in September 2010, but Diana Holland, who received 66.6 percent of the total vote, was defeated.

Prescott appeared before the Chilcot Inquiry on July 30, 2010. Prescott denied that he was skeptical of the legality, intelligence, and reports regarding Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction. Gordon Brown's probe was launched in the summer of 2009, just after wartime's operations were complete. Prescott said the attack by UK and US forces was "illegal" and that members of Tony Blair's Cabinet "weren't given enough paper to make decisions" following the release of the resultant Chilcot Report, which was critical of the war but not so sure of its legality.

Prescott declared in February 2012 that he would run for Labour's nomination to be Humberside's first Police Commissioner. He was elected as the Labour candidate for the November 2012 election in June. Prescott received the most first preference votes in the November election but then lost to Conservative Matthew Grove in the second count.

In March 2013, Prescott suggested that Elizabeth II, the Queen's daughter, should abdicate due to her health. Several MPs had chastised Prescott for his office.

Prescott resigned from the Privy Council on July 6, 2013, according to a newspaper column, who resigned in protest against the delay in the enactment of press control. The resignation was only effective on November 6th this year. The Coalition Government had argued that the Privy Council should consider a cross-party Royal Charter to implement a new system of control, but that this did not mean a final decision would be made before 2015.

Prescott would return to politics as an advisor to Labour leader Ed Miliband on February 21, 2015, as an advisor.

Prescott received the Shechtman International Leadership Award at the Sustainable Industrial Processing Summit 2015 in Antalya, Turkey, for his contributions to political sustainability.

Prescott appeared in the BBC Radio 4 version of Robert Tressell's The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists in June 2008. In 2009, he made a brief cameo appearance as himself in the last episode of BBC Three comedy series Gavin & Stacey (this refers to a running gag in the film concerning a long-distance between Nessa and him). Prescott and comedian Omid Djalili, both of whom hums events in his political career, appeared on a television commercial starting on January 7, 2011. He appeared on BBC's Top Gear as the "Star in the Reasonably Priced Car" on February 27, 2011, the second fastest in a Kia Ceed. He also participated in a discussion with host Jeremy Clarkson about his time in government. In the 2014 Comic Relief film David Walliams' Exces, he appeared as himself.

In the 1950s, Pauline had a son by an American airman, who died before being adopted.

Prescott was diagnosed with diabetes in 1990, but it wasn't announced until 2002. After being taken sick on a train from Hull to London King's Cross on June 2, 2007, he was admitted to hospital. He was later diagnosed with pneumonia and was treated at University College Hospital in London. On June 5, 2007, he was moved to a high-dependency ward, so his age and the fact he suffers from diabetes could make him more closely monitored. In the media, it was reported that his condition was stable and that he was "joking" with hospital workers on 6 June 2007. On June 10, 2007, he was released from hospital to begin his recovery at home.

Prescott recalled suffering from bulimia nervosa, a food disorder that he believed was brought on by stress from the 1980s to 2007.
