John Prescott to talk politics
FORMER Labour deputy leader John Prescott will take the stage in Edinburgh tonight to talk about his life in politics.
Britain's longest-serving deputy prime minister will be interviewed by Scottish Parliament presiding officer Alex Fergusson as part of the Festival of Politics.
Mr Prescott, who was a key figure during Tony Blair's time in office, left school at 15 and served in the Merchant Navy before becoming an MP in 1970 and a peer earlier this year.
The event, in the main chamber of the Holyrood parliament, starts at 5pm.
