Former Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, visited Plymouth yesterday to support Labour’s campaigns in the city. John Prescott has a brilliantly unique and individual style and quickly drew a large crowd on an impromptu stump speech in the city centre.
Despite being heckled – something he dealt with brilliantly – he was clear in his message that Labour has delivered on its promises made in 1997, 2001 and 2005 and that securing Britain’s recovery is safer in Labour’s hands than the Tories. Despite the recent poll bounce for Nick Clegg, the choice at this election is still between a Labour and a Tory government and John made this clear in his own robust way.
After a quick walk round with Linda Gilroy, Labour’s candidate in Plymouth Sutton and Devonport, he joined volunteers for fish and chips on the Barbican.
In the evening John Prescott was the guest speaker at a special Labour rally at the Guildhall. We had nearly 100 Labour activists join us for the rally and heard speeches from Alison, Linda and myself as well as a presentation from John on how we can win and why we should go out and take the fight to the Tories in Plymouth.
Tories Poll Lead Cut Again
Here’s the video that John has on his website on the news that the Tories poll lead is the lowest for 2 years. It is game on for this election and anything could happen – let’s get campaigning and make the case as to why public services should be protected, our rights protected and fox hunting never again introduced in this country – vote Labour.
