Skinner blasts Tories’ nastiest generation
MP says new Tories are nastier than Thatcher
Dennis Skinner believes this generation of Tories are “nastier than Thatcher” and says that it’s proved by the defection of two of the party’s MPs to “ultra-right” Ukip.
The firebrand socialist MP has been the scourge of the “nasty party” in Parliament since taking his seat in 1970.
And videos of him skewering Tory idol Thatcher during her disastrous 11 years as prime minister have been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people on YouTube.
