Beast of Bolsover Dennis Skinner was very best of MPs

Veteran Labour MP Dennis Skinner lost his Bolsover seat at the last election.

SORRY for being so long to put pen to paper about the best of the MPs.

Dennis Skinner, with his quips in the House of Commons, was a very good left-wing MP.

Was Dennis Skinner a good MP with his quips in the Commons?

I always looked for Dennis (The Beast of Bolsover). When I saw him, it put me in a very happy mood for a few days or even a week or two.

I’ve been sad now he’s lost his seat. Watching the Commons is not the same.

THE House of Lords has been allowed to continue its bloated and corrupt growth through the self-interest of all political parties.

Should Tony Blair take a vow of silence over Labour's future?

The tax free income and expenses of its members should be stopped without delay as the gratuitous benefits gained through having a title are reward enough.

The attendance of the members would fall dramatically leaving only those who genuinely want to serve the public interest.

SO Tony Blair is once again giving advice to his old party about how to conduct themselves in the future, i.e. as regards the leadership contest.

Isn’t it time such a discredited politician as him found a hole somewhere and crawled into it? In other words, just shut up.

WE know that Boris Johnson does not do detail, leaving that to his team, but it is likely to cause more problems in the future. But then, what do you expect of Dominic Cummings?

CAN I beg you to send a copy of your wonderfully composed and pertinent editorial on inequality (The Yorkshire Post, February 21) to our PM and all MPs?
