I wasn't aware of this interesting and useful fact, Phil. Thank you.
So, Skinner voted for authoritarian measures - banning smoking and backing intrusive EU-backed ID cards. Not that I am surprised - he seems to make a lot of noise in the Commons but is of no benefit to the national interest at all. Indeed, his views on Trident (voting against it) are harmful to it. I also understand that he is not a member of Labour Against the EU Superstate.
Bolsover deserves a better MP than Skinner.
