‘Zero Jags’ John Prescott turns green campaigner at Cop26 – The National

As Britain’s deputy prime minister, he was known as “Two Jags” for the luxury cars at his disposal – a taste which clashed with his image as a working-class stalwart.

But John Prescott has sold his Jaguars to save the planet and now styles himself “Zero Jags” as he returns to the fray with a cameo at the Cop26 summit.

Mr Prescott, 83, is in Glasgow on the penultimate day of talks, which is dedicated to cities and regions, to tell delegates how they can learn from his coastal home city of Hull.
