  • Dennis Skinner is the longest serving MP ever; he's earned a reputation not to pull his punches.
    Over his decades in the House of Commons he's come to toe with Thatcher, Bercow, Boothroyd and many more veteran parliamentarians.

    Traditional working class hero. Stuck to his roots and beliefs throughout his political career. Never afraid to speak his views and always spoke up for the working class. His comments made during Parliaments questions were a breath of fresh air. He was never involved in back handers or MPs dodgy exspenses controversy. Great speaker and MP.

      Dennis tells the truth about what the conservatives are really up to and also he is the only real man in parliament unlike most of the conservatives who are only interested in serving the interests of big business and corporations by giving them big tax cuts ie corporate welfare and at the same time introducing punitive treatment of our most vulnerable people the sick and disabled which has led to hundreds of suicides not to mention violating there human rights which was highlighted in a United nations report.

      Skinner should be banished from the chamber. He has no respect for the rules of engagement or due process or the Speaker of the House. He's done that so many times, accused people of things by name, which is slander you could get sued for libel for. This after all broadcast live on TV around the world. You should treat people how you expect people to treat you and behave properly and with decency. He has no decorum or self-restraint and should have been banished from the Common's to cool off and reflect on his behaviour.

If we did not have the extremes in policies of consecutive Government ruining our economy over the last 50 years, I would agree with you in part. I have worked for both private industry and nationalised and can see the pros and cons of both. Both Tory and Labour personnel in power have made some real mistakes which has costed our economy and our reputation. The problem with nationalised industry is accountability, and if that was sorted, it would work. Next year the present Government will have £811 billion of taxpayers/corporate tax. If they cannot fix it with this, and make good trade agreements .... well, we will have to wait and see. Good to debate, but to do it with honour. "Manners Maketh Man".

    Watching this on the day of 2019 election and Mr Skinner is tipped to loose his seat. If he does the people of Bolsover are foolish. Mr Skinner is possibly the only person left in parliament that is more interested in the good of the people rather than his own career and lining his own pockets. We can all laugh but he isn't wrong and time will prove him right.

However Dennis Skinner did talk a lot of sense. Remember this guy had a proper job. He wasn't an upper class college boy like dodgy Dave or tricky Tony and pretty much the rest of MP's.

      Only reason he lost his seat was Jeremy corny and Diane Abbott leading Labour and their refusal to endorse the wishes of the British People mainly working classes that voted Brexit. Labour abandoned its traditional working classes in favour of supporting illegal immigrants and those who have contributed nothing to this country. Instead they voted for Boris Johnsons tories as he offered what they wanted Brexit and a promise of a better future. But that vote is only borrowed when Labour eventually has someone like a Dennis Skinner who is an honest working class hero will Labour return to power. Labour needs to wake up and represent the working class and stop pandering to this WOKE cancel culture
