Look we all love Dennis and I just read on Twitter that ex-miners in his constituency are voting Tory. (truly staggering after what Thatcher did to them)

The question is though do you think he should be standing? He’s 88 in a matter of weeks and I question whether he should be standing at that age.

88 is too old to commit yourself to anything for 5 years, there will never be a character like him there again though

I was talking to a Tory in his constituecy a few months ago. He loved him. It's a lot more complicated than just which rosette you think you should vote for

I’m sure most politically-minded folk have individuals they admire in most eras right across the spectrum.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

His Queen Speech banter has gone downhill, tbh. Time to go.

Did love the way he put SNP in their place when they tried to take his usual seat in HoC tho.

I'm surprised he's still standing at 88 full stop!

A group of us met him on College Green a couple of years back. He’s fitter-looking than many half his age.

“What do you say we all go for a few pints then come back here later and hit fck out of the Tories?”

Earlier on in the day, I happened to come across an 80 year old+ jogging.

There's ex-marines in their mid 70's still pumping iron with a colostomy bag down here.
We'll never see these walk the planet again.

Did he say that or did you?

And everyone else on College Green, stood up and applauded.

Great old stump orator in the knockabout style of decades past.

You’ll enjoy this, Clase. It will remind you of Labour conferences on BBC2 before they were sanitised and choreographed film-flam.
