Two Labour Losses I find a little sad

Skinner must be devastated - people he'd tried to help for decades stabbing him in the back. They'll get what they deserve.

Yes some areas already Over run by Immigrants appeared to be a problem , that Dennis had not attended to .

Locals words , Not mine ...

Caroline Flint always struck me as a decent MP.

Yes at least she actually believed in democracy , Voted to remain but Voted for Boris deal , Perhaps she seen what was coming

Boris twice voted against Theresa May's deal, does that mean that he doesn't believe in democracy

Dennis Skinner , A very amuzing character Love him or Loathe him he is what he is , will be a loss to the House.
----------------

How can he be - "a loss to the House" ?

All he has done for the past few decades is just sit there like a Madame Tussaud's Dummy.

- and if you find him -"amuzing" (sic) ... then don't bother trying to tell me a joke.

The results have not yet been called, but Caroline Flint has already taken to Twitter to seemingly share her commiserations.

She said: “We’re going to hear the Corbynistas blame it on Brexit and the Labour Uber Remainers blaming Corbyn. Both are to blame for what looks like a terrible night for Labour.

“Both have taken for granted Labour’s heartlands. Sorry we couldn’t offer you a Labour Party you could trust.”

Well I would rather Looking at at SKINNER in the house than Steptoe , No Contest ,Many others on the Labour Benches, I would have long way behind Dennis ............

he had a good old  innings ...49 years

Yes , and I believe he wanted the UK out of the EU ?? Still lost his seat

87 years old - for goodness sake.

Just drawing his (over)privileged Parliamentary Pension

Feel for Skinner

An honest man who's been the bedrock for many a year

Stabbed in the back by people who have no idea what they've just done... YET!

yes met him when I was one of the activists  - hilarious incident when we had to transport him around  etc

all sorts of anecdotes and stories ho ho

good bloke

"87 years old - for goodness sake."



He was definately Old School

I agree with onlooker ; he passed his retire by date years ago and ended up being one of the House's buffoons. I imagine the constituents of Bolsover are mightly relieved to get shot of him. A rude,boorish individual who will not be mourned.

Caroline Flint on the other hand is a loss.

He was a man of the people

As was Corbyn to a degree, people just don't see it yet

You don't give up - do you - Sontaran

If a circus clown can get 200+ seats leading his party, the day is not far away when he graces 10 Downing Street. He will be back

Detraveller, I have told you already, you don't live here and have NO voting rights, so stfu and do something about the european destroyer Merkle. Put your own house in order before potificating on here.HTH

SS it's idiots like you that are responsible for a once great party going to the dogs.

Well said Box

Why the anger box?

This is great entertainment. Its not the same here.
