As you can imagine, our family needs to process our grief so we respectfully request time and space to mourn in private.
Thank you.
Pauline, Johnathan and David Prescott.

I ended up playing 11 gigs in 11 Hull pubs to raise money for @TheStrokeAssoc. With Gift Aid, we’ve so far raised over £1,070.
Fingers still sore but was worth it!
Thanks to everyone who donated, including £130 in cash on the day!
Can still donate here.

The only thing I have in common with Andrea Jenkyns is that we both ended up with egg on our face.

🔺JUST IN: Satire is dead.

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

🔺 JUST IN: Boris Johnson has told cabinet ministers that he will not resign because he believes it would cause months of chaos and instability

[John Prescott @johnprescott]

Ministers and PPS’s right now.

Translation.
I’d like to be Health Secretary for a week.
You’re welcome

[Rt Hon Nadine Dorries @NadineDorries]

I’m not sure anyone actually doubted this, however, I am 💯 behind @BorisJohnson the PM who consistently gets all the big decisions right.

So sad to hear of Harry’s passing. A proud Yorkshireman, he was the best broadcaster of his generation.
It was always a pleasure to be interviewed by him. He wasn’t scared to ask the hard questions.
But for Harry, the story & the viewer came first, not the presenter.

Our much loved friend and colleague Harry Gration died suddenly today. We are absolutely heartbroken to give you this news.

Tonight our hearts go out to Harry's wife Helen, their children and all of Harry's family and friends.

Hi @CarolMidgley. I see in your article you claim I said: “It’s great to be back on Terra Cotta again.”
Never said it.
It was actually said by Del Boy in Only Fools and Horses. I’m sure you and @thetimes will amend it immediately. Here’s the proof. https://t.co/0Ntrgag9Zk

Is it mean to mock Liz Truss over her “Irish tea sock”, even though she’s the , erm, foreign secretary? Column https://t.co/yMSGhxLIZj

So raise the scarlet standard high… #hulllabour
