John Prescott
John Prescott was deputy leader of the Labour Party under Tony Blair and Britain's longest-serving deputy prime minister. His autobiography, Prezza: Pulling No Punches, tells the full story of these years and the story of a remarkable man. An 11 plus failure, he became a union firebrand and a campaigning MP. Whether you regard John Prescott as a street brawler, traitor to the left, grace-and-favour croquet player, philanderer and minister without a job; OR as the man who ensured crucial party modernisation, who helped get Labour back into power, who kept the peace between Brown and Blair, who fought with Al Gore to get the ground-breaking Kyoto Agreement signed and the voice of reason in the Cabinet - his life makes for a compelling story.
