Story
John Prescott, Former UK Deputy PM, Dies at 86 After Alzheimer's Battle
Nov 21, 2024, 06:12 AM
John Prescott, the former deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom and a key figure in Tony Blair's Labour government, died at the age of 86 after a battle with Alzheimer's disease. His family announced that he passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones and to the sound of jazz music, at his care home where he had been living in recent years. Prescott served as MP for Kingston upon Hull East for 40 years and was the UK's longest-serving deputy prime minister, serving for a decade. Known for his straight-talking and sometimes controversial style, he was instrumental in the modernization of the Labour Party but later distanced himself from Blair's legacy. Tony Blair described him as 'one of the most talented people I ever encountered in politics.'
