This man left his wife for his young american secretary and spent his entire political career attacking anything that threatend the share prices of the coal mine he owns a great deal of shares in ....he is a deciever a user and a beast of bolsover. Human scum.
-
@HamerD I completely agree. His divisiveness and personal attacks are regrettable but from what I have seen he seems to have great integrity
-
@HamerD Agreed - couldn't have put it better myself :-)
-
@tdp1909 true, I have to agree I think he would be the sort of leader as you say. He best serves the country being a beacon of modesty, honesty and honourable duty. MPs on all sides should follow his examples on expenditure and voting record. Perhaps not so much his rabid divisiveness...
-
@HamerD True - ditto with the Tories, but I was more commenting on how ridiculously aggressive he can be against potential allies...
-
@tdp1909 being against a progressive idea isn't inconsistent with being labour. There are weaknesses to PR that any sensible person can see, and strengths...some people will come down on either side because of personal moral priorities.
-
It's funny - he speaks a lot of good sense in the first half of the video and then the mask comes off when attacking what IS a progressive idea - PR. People may admire him for his 'hellfire' style but he'd have made a truly awful leader, in the mold of Captain Bligh...
-
This was when Labour was a real party of the working class. Now its run by southern elitists who have no idea how working class people live.



Everything a Labour MP should be, a representative of working class people, not a Neo Liberal political careerist .

Dennis Skinner wasn't entirely right about the City of London in this interview, because the Financial Times newspaper famously decided to back Labour in the 1992 election.
