Lord Prescott is the latest in a long line of singers to cover I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter. He follows stars including Frank Sinatra, Fats Waller and Paul McCartney.
And while the Labour veteran, who has announced he will stand for the Humberside Police commissioner post, is unlikely to trouble the charts, his video is already proving a hit on YouTube.

“Why does this oaf think of himself as a celebrity?
When will he realise he is/was just an obscenely overpaid, underachieving, failed civil servant.
Thicky Prescott is a man out for himself and his family first and the people of Hull last.
Let us eat chips eh John?”

“Seems Fatty 2 jags will stop an nothing to keep himself in the public domain, hopefully so that he'll get the Humberside Police Commissioner job and the £75k that goes with it.
He never did anything for E Hull when he was an MP and is an outdated OAP, a relic of the 1960's bully boy trade union militants.
I just hope the people of Humberside, but mainly the big council estates in Hull can see him for what he is and vote for someone who can actually do the job.
Anybody but Prescott.”
