Former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott has kept his promise to take to the stage to celebrate 100,000 signing a petition to urge the government to drop its NHS reforms.

The Labour peer belted out, fittingly, the 1935 Joe Young hit "I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter" - and he gives it a pretty good shot.

The track has also been covered, although not as well, by Paul McCartney on his new album which takes its name "Kisses On The Bottom" from the song.

The Huffington Post UK has seen and heard much worse at our weekly Karaoke nights, naming no names.

For those who are less keen on his dulcet tones, Prescott promised on Twitter to remove the video from the internet if the petition reaches 200,000 signatures.

well in my book he's right on the money by wanting to throw this backdoor privatization bill out and if he's a thug for defending himself against some egg throwing Tory boy then you lot need your heads looking at, failing 11+ and sitting no exams didn't do him so badly either, where'd your exams get you.

Good luck to him at least he has paid UK tax on HIS income. I wonder how many in Parliament can say that - let alone funders of political parties.

Never mind that. Tweet the procedure for removing a peerage.
