msc 18,434 Posted June 29, 2023 Well, I missed Prescott making a Lords speech last November. It's only summarised on Hansard but he thanked people for their wishes. Allegedly he keeps active but I do note he hasn't voted in the Lords since February. He managed to keep up the regular votes when recovering from the stroke. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dimreaper 692 Posted September 24 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjjwn3ey3e3o Not breaking news, but as of July of 2024, he has ceased to be a member of the House of Lords and hasn't voted on any legislation since February of 2023. Anyone else in favor of just retitling this thread "John Prescott" thus making it more searchable, and preventing another John Prescott thread from being created by another member? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also had absolutely nothing to say about the last general election, not even on Twitter. Normally he would be first in the queue to gloat about a Labour landslide. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted September 24 I find it sad that ridiculous thread titles like this one and the Andy Ripley boofheads are gradually being homogenised for convenience. The world gets ever more literal day by day. How long until Piper at the Gates of Heaven becomes Musicians of the Psychedelic Era? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a subheading field which is for jokes or quirky nicknames etc. "J Prescott" isn't practical for the search engine. Also, whilst I'm here the Lara Roxx thread really needs to be renamed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
