What has Labour learned from Prescott?
Sky News' deputy political editor Sam Coates and Politico's Jack Blanchard share their daily guide to the day ahead in politics in under 20 minutes.
This morning Westminster wakes up to the news that John Prescott, Britain's longest-ever holder of the title deputy prime minister, the conscience of New Labour, and - at times - its life and soul, has died.
Jack and Sam reflect on his legacy both within and beyond party politics and ask whether Angela Rayner should inherit his intolerance of the overly liberal middle class and be the deputy prime minister of working people.
They also discuss what lies ahead for Ukraine as British missiles are fired into Russia for the first time in the conflict.
