The image of John Prescott giving chase to Ed Balls on the M62 just to discuss a point about the Euro had me roaring with laughter this morning. Not good on the icy roads.

Good discussion on latest Political Currency pod on assisted dying. I think Ed Balls agrees with me on the need for a better process before legislating. He is proposing govt now sets up a review www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/gove...
The government has gone the wrong way about legislating on assisted dying | Institute for Government
The row over the assisted dying legislation has exposed the shortcomings of private members' bills.

My tribute to the late John Prescott filmed early this morning for @GMB - he was a great, generous and under-estimated man.

Feels like an age ago - but it’s just a fortnight since we flew out to Washington DC to report on the US election for Good Morning Britain - rather a lot has changed in the world since then..
