He was a senior Labour government member. At a Party conference in 2004 he said;
“Now is the time to rid ourselves of the remaining rump of hereditary peers in the Lords. They are an offence against democracy.” In 2008 he said he would not accept a peerage saying, “I don’t want to be a member of the House of Lords. I will not accept it.” He further stated;“I am against too much flunkery and titles”. Who was he? John Prescott. And there are loads of this sort now wearing the ermine. What a bunch.
