As you know my dad passed away last year after living with dementia. I’m running the London Marathon in his memory & to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK to help find a cure. I’ve raised Ā£1500 so far but would be great to reach my target of Ā£5,000. Thanks justgiving.com/page/david-pre…

My father John Prescott wanted to raise money for Comic Relief. 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 Alice ArnoldšŸ’™ for helping him! If you like it, donate here. donation.comicrelief.com

Thanks to Stephen Dixon, Miriam Cates and GB News for allowing me to make the case for Alzheimer's Research UK to put dementia at the heart of the Government’s upcoming 10 Year Health Plan. Any my personal need to beat the Minions tomorrow! Donate here please. justgiving.com/page/david-pre…

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 Alzheimer's Research UK. You can still chip in here. justgiving.com/page/david-pre…

So I raised over Ā£6,000 for Alzheimer's Research UK 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!

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: ā€œI was only following your orders. ā€œYou told us to connect with the electorate. ā€œSo I did!ā€

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. ā¤ļø

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.

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
