Watch Dennis Skinner Lash Out At UKIP Over The NHS

    The veteran Labour MP lashed out at UKIP's immigration policy, saying foreign workers keep the NHS working. "I have a United Nations heart bypass," Skinner said.

    Labour MP Dennis Skinner today attacked UKIP MPs Mark Reckless and Douglas Carswell, claiming they planned to deport foreigners.

    Skinner specifically pointed at recently-elected Mark Reckless in the Commons during a debate today about the NHS.

    Worth a look:) Dennis Skinner flattend Ukip MP Mark Reckless moments after he is sworn in http://t.co/TnvqzqpCYI

    ...and another way of putting it is as follows... we dragged the National Health Service in 1997 to 2010 from the depths of degradation that the Tories left it in to the pinnacles of achievement and I've got a United Nations heart bypass to prove it.And it was done by a Syrian cardiologist, a Malaysian surgeon, a Dutch doctor, a Nigerian registrar and these two people here talk about "sending them back from whence they came". If you take those people out of the hospitals in London, half of London'd be dead in six months. That's the facts about UKIP.

    And everyone is pretty much going crazy over the video.

    Masterful shaming of UKIP by Dennis Skinner today in The House of Commons. This must be seen and shared. Legend. https://t.co/MK18flEXW5

    Dennis Skinner is the most brilliant MP. So much respect for him!

    Even those who don't agree with him.

    Dennis Skinner my kind of man tells it straight!, don't always agree with what he says but in this instance 110 percent!!

    And there have been at least a few who suggested that Ed Miliband has some lessons to learn from the veteran MP.

    Bloody love Dennis Skinner. This is how you celebrate Labour's achievements in office and defend immigrants. https://t.co/2k1VdidZBS

    And, of course, this isn't the first time Skinner's left a mark on another political party.
