Former Labour MP and Commons stalwart Dennis Skinner is trending on Twitter as people rally around in a bid to get him into the charts.

Singer/songwriter Robb Johnson has recorded a heartwarming song about the working class hero who served as an MP for 49 years and became known for his stinging speeches.

Dubbed ‘Tony Skinner’s Lad’ the single tells the tale of a man who ‘can’t be bought’ and remained true to his principles and upbringing.

A series of videos have emerged as people look back on his glittering and, at times, frightening career.

We have picked out some of the best:

I believe

Dennis Skinner:

“…these words of mine don’t come out of my mouth because of envy, because of greed. It’s because I believe we have to look after those people that haven’t got two ha’pennies to rub together; that should be what motivates us every day…”pic.twitter.com/KXmpvyHyjc

You think you’re above it all

We see the legend that is Dennis Skinner is trending.

Time to remind ourselves of this:

“You’re involved, you are somebody that could be affected but somehow you think you’re above it all. You’re not.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
