This “loss of jobs” bollocks still getting pushed whenever pay rises for the lowest paid are suggested. Prescott not letting thon bastard get away with it. https://t.co/lo9qspNOTr

The standard of politician in this country has just dropped. It’s genuinely quite sad. Heseltine versus Prescott. Hague versus Prescott. https://t.co/20pBexD1Vu

Same ‘loss of jobs’ argument gets wheeled out whenever employment rights or distribution of wealth is mentioned, always by the well off.
Prescott in fine form here – rest in peace. https://t.co/x0yTXNQcE0

Same issue at every turn.
Wealthy people telling everyone else that paying more isn’t an option and it’s down to what people will accept.
Also, don’t form unions or go on strike. https://t.co/cSQcxvRrvN

A great laser-focused class warfare stare at 15 seconds in from John Prescott, great that he reached the very respectable age of 86 given his well-upholstered fuller figure. A national treasure who’ll be missed and remembered fondly 😉 pic.twitter.com/OBxzfSK02Y
