This is the Labour Party that had my vote for years on end, Dennis Skinner, a true legend.

A couple more like him & the power will shift.

I really don't get you. The venom you've given me because I'm on the left.

Thats probably because you are more left than my left foot, I have had the pleasure of meeting the beast on a couple of occasions, & what a pleasure it was, that was in the days way before Bliar, who single handed ruined the Labour movement, he turned many,many traditional supporters away. Thatcher did what was necessary to arrest the slump, nothing more,I was labour all my life until that obscene individual came along, he changed my view.

I was probably a Labour supporter before you, but hey we are where we are, but if the beast could be morphed into another 20 the Labour Party will be in Downing Street.

ps
just watch his speech from yesterday

How does that work then? Kinnock spent a few years ridding the Labour Party of the likes of Hatton and the socialist workers that had infiltrated the party and made them unelectable. Blair came along changed the party and Labour were in power the longest in their history with so many Labour supporters actually coming back.
Now Labour have returned to those days with first Milliband letting anyone join for £3 and now Mc Cluskey sorry Corbyn as surrounded himself with the same people.
I will say Dennis Skinner is probably the most honest MP in parliament tho' and as stood by his principles.

What is your evidence that I'm more left than your left foot? I have a signed edition of Dennis's autobiog and think the man is pure gold. Incidentally, I also share your loathing of Bliar and his sell-out of Labour.
Btw, Drowsy, you have said that you're a big fan of the monarchy. You are aware that Dennis is a staunch republican and has no room for royals?

I am perfectly aware, in fact that was part of a discussion that I had with him, we agreed to disagree, he said a one liner, I pissed myself with laughter, he is more than gold, he is a true Politician who is loyal to his beliefs, unlike the modern "career" oiks.
