I can’t believe Dennis Skinner lost his seat

[LucheroTena]

What were Bolsover voters thinking? A really excellent constituency MP. One of the finest and most honest men ever. Gave his own salary to the miners FFS.

I know I can't believe this either. It's the biggest shock of the election.

I love skinner and watched his funniest moments on YouTube this morning to cheer myself up about it.

I think voters are under the illusion it was a presidency. Johnson or Corbyn.

We have the opposite situation in my constituency- a rubbish MP who fakes expenses and does nothing for local people but is voted in time and again as wears blue rosette.

Will miss his Queen's Speech quips ..

Gutted about this.

The beast of bolsover...

I cannot even begin to imagine how he is feeling today.

During the miners strike he donated a year's salary to the fund for miners and their families. Worked so hard for his constituents for decades.

It's shameful.

As someone who lives in Dennis Skinnners constituency I can say that this must have been fixed because everyone around here voted for Dennis!

I grew up in his constituency. He was a fine MP, and extremely principled.

He was also too old for the job and unable to campaign. The constituency voted overwhelmingly for leave and in my opinion is a classic case of turkeys voting for Christmas.

sell, you know Skinner was an advocate of leaving the EU, don’t you?
