Prescott pulls no punches as he says ‘I’m sorry’

JOHN PRESCOTT yesterday apologised for letting the British Labour Party down following the revelation of his affair earlier this year, saying: “I know in the last year, I let myself down, I let you down. I just want to say sorry.”

He also announced that he will quit as Deputy Prime Minister in the next 12 months.

In an emotional speech at the close of the party’s Manchester conference, Mr Prescott told delegates: “This will be my last conference as your deputy leader. Thank you for electing me and thank you for all the support over the last 12 years.”
