THE PREZZA IN JEZZA’S CAMP

HAVING failed three times to win a seat in Parliament, David Prescott was humiliated when he was rejected as Labour candidate in his father John’s former hull East constituency.

Curiously, Prescott Jnr, who backed Andy Burnham for Labour leader and says ‘my politics have more in common with Owen Smith’ (who challenged Comrade Corbyn for the leadership), has landed a new role as the Labour leader’s speechwriter.

Will a few years of collaborating with Corbyn finally reward young Prescott with the safe Labour seat he hankers after in 2020?
