THINGS GET HEATED
Watch this Labour MP get kicked out of parliament for calling David Cameron 'dodgy Dave'
Dennis Skinner refused to withdraw the remark.
LABOUR MP DENNIS Skinner was thrown out of the House of Commons for referring to David Cameron as “dodgy Dave”.
Skinner was speaking during a debate on the Panama Papers leak yesterday, in which the UK prime minister defended his father’s offshore investment fund.
Commons Speaker John Bercow asked Skinner to withdraw the remark but the MP for Bolsover refused, telling Bercow:
“This man has done more to divide this nation than anybody else. He has looked after his own pocket. I still refer to him as dodgy Dave. Do what you like.”
BBC News reports that this is the fifth time Skinner has been asked to leave the chamber.
