Every single Labour front-bencher today would wither here. They'd start stuttering out some pre-prepared research lines written by some obnoxious 20-something, like a rabbit in the headlights, terrified of generating a bad headline, with all the charisma of a Thameslink spokesperson apologising for delays.
Prescott's got a kind of proto-Trumpian, not-bothered, unrehearsed, chaotic patter that makes him far more endearing than more-or-less any politician today. (He's obvs a lot better/more coherent/vastly more intelligent than Trump lol).

🤝 Great to meet with @LessWasteLaura to hear more about her passion for the environment and reducing waste.
❌💨 We discussed lots of her concerns particularly around disposable vapes.
Let’s be clear, Nicola Sturgeon remains head and shoulders over Boris Johnson. Whilst both have been found guilty of wrongdoing by parliamentary committees, only Nicola is leading the way by actually getting arrested. 🏴✊
Yet another SNP success story!

As we say goodbye to 2022, The King’s Piper plays ‘Auld Lang Syne’ at Buckingham Palace.
Wishing all our followers a very happy and healthy 2023.

The King received The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP at Buckingham Palace today.
His Majesty asked him to form a new Administration. Mr. Sunak accepted His Majesty's offer and was appointed Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury.
One of the most famous paintings in history damaged forever by a few attention-seeking teenagers.
Disgusting beyond words.
It’s time to take a stand against these criminals and start handing out lengthy prison time.
