I wouldn't even throw my sh*te at him. After all the scandals we have been made aware of over the past couple of years : expenses, paedo rings, MPs lying to parliament etc etc. He has worked in the same place for nearly 50years, yet he did nothing, knew nothing, heard nothing. I find that amazing. The man who "tells it like it is" outspoken honest MP for the working classes, my ARSE! Self serving showman.
Your comment is very nice - I would add that honesty and decency can bring worlds together - your continued work for this truly valiant goal will bring further honour upon you - whatever 'world' you may inhabit at the present time. May peace prevail.
You've got to love Dennis Skinner, he's hilarious, honest and just darn nice and entered politics purely because he wanted to change things after a tough upbringing. You can't say that about many politicians.
@@mism847 As they showed in Bolsover in 2019, when they decided to boot Dennis out because his party was against Brexit, even though he was always staunchly in favour! I remember the BBC doing a piece interviewing some residents; one said, 'well, we've not seen him around town recently, he hasn't been here'. He was almost 88 and he'd been in hospital for goodness' sake! What a way to say thank you for 49 years he'd spent tirelessly working for them...
It was but to be honest I think he should have stood down. He will be in his 90s by the end of this parliament. I wonder how many thought he was just too old. One thing is for sure his successor wont be there 49 years.The best thing about Dennis is he never changed his mind to suit the media. A rarity among British politicians
burnleyfan11965 The guy is everything that Labour is about: principled, socialist values with a vision of a fairer, more just Britain. The only Labour MP as principled and consistent as Dennis is Corbyn. Strangely, people respect Dennis and despise ( because they were told to ) Corbyn. Skinner was one of Corbyn’s biggest supporters and a fantastic example of why shifting to the right - even very slightly through the election of Starmer - defeats the purpose of the Labour party.
Elvis Has left the building They are all the same Tony Blair has a nice line giving after dinner speech's for around 100,000 per speech. Then of course he owns property which he rents out. He is a multi millionaire many of them in Westminster are rolling in it and have no concept of what it's like to be in poverty.
I think this guy might be the only politician I fully like. clever, snappy yet 100% pure and the only MP I've ever seen who seems to genuinely represent the working people. say what you like about labour but this man is gold
@@pobbinista Because liking one person from an opposition doesn't mean you agree with the ideologies of said party. Like I respect Dennis Skinner very much but I disagree with the labour as they are a bunch of socialists.
@@anthonythatcherchurchilled285 A healthy society incorporates conservative and socialist elements. It's about how these elements are used that determines whether a society will be successful or not.
@@bradcraig2978 Running his as leader would greatly change people's perception of him. As with Corbyn or Foot long ago. They were popular and liked when they were just there own people saying what they thought knowing none of it would mean anything to those who really make the decisions and were liked for it. However when they became leader the media launched relentless smear campaigns on them. Same thing would happen to Skinner if he was ever leader. It's the sad but unfortunate truth
I met Dennis many times during the miners strike. He was always approachable and spoke to me as an old friend. I saw him last at a funeral five years ago, he came over to me and greeted me using my name. The most genuine, caring man you could ever wish to meet!
He reminds me so much of my Grandad. This all makes me so happy. He should have kept his seat. He's a politician who truly embodies British Labour and the British left. May he regain his Constituency someday
American here. I have so much respect for how this man stood up for your country’s working class. Such a rare sight to see him so open. Much respect, Dennis!
Why have they subtitled him? lol. Voted for skinner in every election since I could vote. Always been a prominent figure within my community - good old skinner!!
I wish he represented my constituency. My politics teacher told us that on last year's trip to parliament he randomly stopped and talked with the students, answering questions for an hour.
I'm a Conservative, and I think Dennis Skinner's a national treasure. I love his passion and the work he's done for his constituents. It's a great shame he lost his seat. A true Labour man from the old school, not the virtue-signalling, Momentum-driven mess Labour is now.
Weirdly, Skinner is one of Corbyn’s biggest supporters. Shares practically the same values and has the same core beliefs. It’s bizarre that people hate Corbyn so much yet this comment section is filled of people praising a man who is very similar to him politically.
I'm no Labourite but I take off my hat to Dennis Skinner, whether you agree with his ideas or not you can't deny he wants whats best for Britain as he sees it should be.
American here that is down the rabbit hole of youtube. Fascinated with the UK House of Commons and the crazyness that goes on and found out about this Skinner guy. Wow!!!! Dude has a great voice! Unreal
labour or conservative, i highly respect this mp. wish more people like him were in the house of commons and not dodgy dave. hell I'm conservative myself and i prefer him to some of these tories
Britain would be a disaster if Dennis Skinner´s politics ever materialised but... I admire him as a man... he is a value-driven campaigner and my heart warmed watching this broadcast.
i have liked dennis skinner mp for many years i had the pleasure of meeting him coming out of parliament one night about two years ago what a gentleman the ex miners union boss he is a man of principles there will never be another human like him more is the pity j--c your political commentator in england
Kudos for Britain to have brought up a son like Dennis and tribute to what remains of the old British values that has allowed him to survive the cesspool of Blairs and Johnsons.
THERE IS NO DOUBTS ABOUT I T DENNIS SKINNER IS A DIAMOND GEEZER and A GENTLEMAN AND VERY POLITE TO ME WHEN I SPOKE TO HIM GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE DENNIS:--J--C
skinner is one of the very few politicians who are straight forward. I respect him immensely
I hate Labour but I respect this man

@@johnthatcher2349 A friend of mine is a Tory but he loves Dennis Skinner, because he says what he thinks, not what the press want to hear
The bloke's 85. Many would be in a care home themselves at that age, never mind going around and entertaining the residents. A true champ.
Much respect for this man from Saudi Arabia. We may be worlds apart, but honesty and decency is a universal trait.
Your comment is very nice - I would add that honesty and decency can bring worlds together - your continued work for this truly valiant goal will bring further honour upon you - whatever 'world' you may inhabit at the present time. May peace prevail.

the people of bolsover betrayed him. simple as that
We need more MP's like this bloke
Joseph Stacey - Absolutely !
I’m voting Labour when I can
No we don't!
Even Cromwell had standards within Parliament.
I can't imagine "Dodgy Dave" or Osborne doing something like this.
+Andrew Murphy They would do it if they could line their own pockets in the process.
Osborne would, if he were paid £260,000 per hour that is.

They'd have a slave do it....
Skinner has plenty of time now he is out of work by ex Labour voters who now vote Tory. They have finally seen the light.

So glad he's still here fighting for us against the rotten tories, may he live forever in our soul
We could do with more Dennis Skinners to take on these pitiless elites that are 'running' the country.
It's not just the rotten tories he opposes, it's the parasitical Windsor mob as well.

a fucking legend and a giant of a politician
Happy Birthday Dennis Skinner, 90 years old today.
This man, I would be proud to call an MP, and if he was party leader, hell I'd vote for him in a landslide.
Absolute legend
What a great man
I have so much respect for this man! A brilliant human being!
I don't agree with Dennis on everything, but I would shake this man's hand. He's my favourite MP, and he doesn't even represent me.

Tough yet kind. Merci Sir! ✊️
Why have they subtitled him? lol. Voted for skinner in every election since I could vote. Always been a prominent figure within my community - good old skinner!!
More things should be subtitled even when not absolutely necessary -- plenty of deaf people in Britain.
Such a great man is Dennis Skinner
Hero and inspiration. This country needs more genuine principled people like Dennis
What a fantastic person . Thank you for sharing .
