I have been a fan of John Prescott ever since he accepted two of my “I’d rather be riding Metrolink” car stickers (one for each jag) during a visit to Manchester.

He’s fallen out of favour recently but he was still the best Transport Secretary I have ever known.

Anyone who saw his BBC2 programme on class on Monday will have seen that he’s just as impressive as he ever was - and what a star Pauline is!!!

That is why you should sign my petition on the Downing Street site to persuade him to go to the Lords.
