John Prescott’s funeral – latest: Starmer joins mourners as Reeves vows Heathrow third runway within decade
Sir Keir Starmer and Labour ministers have begun to arrive at Lord John Prescott’s funeral.
More than 300 family members, friends and colleagues have been invited to Lord Prescott’s service at Hull Minster.
Lord Prescott, who served as deputy prime minister under Sir Tony Blair between 1997 and 2007, died on November 20 last year aged 86 in a nursing home where he had been living with Alzheimer’s.
It comes as Rachell Reeves signalled Heathrow’s third runway could be built and in use by 2035.
Asked for a timeline on the plans, which she backed on Wednesday, the Chancellor told BBC Breakfast: “We want to see spades in the ground in this Parliament.”
