According to the Hull and East Riding Mail:
“Lord Prescott said: “I want the opportunity to continue my public service to the region with a mandate from the people to protect the community and target criminals.
“I feel that after proudly serving as a local MP for 40 years and as a cabinet minister for 10 years, I have the experience to listen to the public and help be their strong voice in supporting the police and holding them to account .”
Ex-city council leader Colin Inglis and recently-retired Humberside Police senior officer Keith Hunter have already submitted their applications for the Labour ticket.”
