Quite something to be in the company of the Holy Father - on the bookshelf at least. 🙏

John Prescott was a giant of the Labour Party and fought for working people all his life. A huge talent, who rose to become a longstanding Deputy PM, he will also be remembered for that remarkable punch in the 2001 election campaign…

Fantastic to meet the great Chris Mullin and do a book swap - ‘How Labour Wins’ for ‘Error of Judgment’. His work on the Birmingham Six remains an inspiration to many, rightly so!

Really brilliant to be on this platform, feels like a liberation. I might talk about my book - ‘How #Labour Wins’, politics generally, news stories and football. Do follow me. 🙏
