Dennis Skinner(I)
A former coal miner, renowned for his staunchly left-wing views and
outstanding attendance and voting record in the House of Commons, as
well as his barbed jibes that often bring the House into raptures of
laughter, Dennis Skinner is one of the last survivors of the Labour
Party's "Old Left". Skinner has been Member of Parliament for Bolsover
since 1970 and was once given by The Independent newspaper the moniker
of "The Beast That Roars From The Pits".
