I'm glad he is on his way out as regards 'frontline' politics.

Prescott has been a committed europhile since the early 1970's (if not before) - having sat in the European Assembly in that decade (before it started calling itself a 'Parliament') and he has been totally committed, indeeed obsessed, with trying to get the EU 'regionalisation' (i.e. break-up England) policy implemented in the UK (which would have led to the end of the 1000 year-old English county shires).

Thankfully, his proposals (for an elected 'regional' assembly) were rejected by the people of the north-east of England in the 2004 referendum. I don't believe that he recovered from that huge electoral defeat.

He leaves 'frontline' politics having failed to get through his most cherished objectives - the euro and EU 'regionalisation'.

What an awful man he is. And I don't just mean his political views.

I shall never forget the eurosceptic Professor and historian David Starkey describing Prescott as "the House of Commons Court Jester."
