Dennis Skinner booted from Commons after calling Cameron 'dodgy Dave'

Fiery veteran Labour MP Dennis Skinner has been removed from the House of Commons after repeatedly referring to the Prime Minister as ‘dodgy Dave.’

House speaker John Bercow asked the MP for Bolsover to withdraw the description during a commons session that focused on David Cameron’s tax affairs and the leak of the Panama papers.

But Skinner rejected Bercow’s request, and repeated the description, leading Mr Bercow to eject him from the Commons for the remainder of the day’s session.

Mr Skinner said: ‘Does the Prime Minister recall that at the time after he became Prime Minister under the coalition and at the time when he was dividing the nation between strivers and scroungers, I asked him a very important question about the windfall he received when he wrote off the mortgage of the premises in Notting Hill, and I said to him he didn’t write off the mortgage of the one taxpayers were helping to pay for at Oxford.

‘I didn’t receive a proper answer then. Maybe dodgy Dave will answer it now.’

Good to know that a few things don't change and that at 84, Skinner (presumably no relation to the head of DU!) is just as good as ever at annoying Tories.
