As you may know, my father passed away after living with advanced Alzheimer’s. So I’m running the London Marathon for @AlzResearchUK. I know times are tight but if you fancy chucking in a couple of quid, it’ll be greatly appreciated. Thanks. https://t.co/AVwQHpOSg3

Lots of people talk about defeating the far-right but few are willing to do the hard graft of community organising. Sitting down with people you disagree with, dismantling racist narratives and winning people over. We need more nuance and less name-calling.

Today I opened the John Prescott Room at Ruskin College. He got a second chance here. No O levels, but Ruskin helped him get to Hull, then to Parliament, and eventually Deputy PM. We all deserve a second chance. Today I went back to say thank you. #LifelongLearning

Tomorrow I have the honour of opening the John Prescott Room at Ruskin College, 60 years after he finished the course that helped take him from the docks to Downing Street. I’ll return his original Ruskin essays to inspire future students. Thank you Ruskin for believing in him.

He’d have been 87 today. First birthday without him. Found this picture the other day in the loft. We’d just moved in to the house in East Hull in 1978. Fitting that he spent his whole life trying to lift people up too. Happy birthday dad. ❤️

24 years ago today my father John Prescott went to Rhyl in the 2001 General Election. When Tony Blair asked why he punched the protestor who egged him, he replied: “I was only following your orders. “You told us to connect with the electorate. “So I did!”

So I raised over £6,000 for @AlzResearchUK in the London Marathon in pretty gruelling conditions! But it was an honour to race with so many people running in memory of their loved ones and good causes. Here’s my video diary so you can what it’s like to run 26.2 on a hot day!

The crowd was unbelievable today and got many of us over the line. Managed to do 5.27 but just glad to complete it. The most remarkable day of my life. Thanks to you, I’ve raised nearly 6k for @AlzResearchUK. You can still chip in here. https://t.co/AVwQHpOSg3

My father John Prescott wanted to raise money for @comicrelief. So 14 years ago today he read the Shipping Forecast. He always listened to it at sea & did it in his own inimitable way. Thanks to @alicearnold1 for helping him! If you like it, donate here. https://t.co/kXQ6ZtGVDH
