YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGeorge Osborne and Ed Balls reflect on the life of former UK deputy Prime Minister John Prescott. He was known for being the glue that held Gordon Brown and Tony Blair together, and for infamously punching a man who threw an egg at him at a Labour Rally in Wales in 2001. But they think he was a much bigger political policy thinker than he is often given credit for being. The pair reflect on what Prescott meant to British politics.
