Dennis Skinner would be.
Always had a soft spot for Kelvin Hopkins for some reason.
Well, there's four I've never heard of, 22 I think are broadly good on some things and then there's Frank Field, Gisela Stuart and Bob Wareing - I wouldn't miss those three much if they left parliament/the Labour Party, although Field is sometimes entertaining.
I think you'll find they voted for a Labour Manifesto promise. More proof that the European Project is anti-democratic and contemptuous of the ordinary people.
Mark Fisher is a surprise - I met him a few times (admittedly a good while ago now), and he struck me as very pro-EU. Maybe I got him wrong. Or maybe he changed in the last ten years?
Oh, and "More proof that the European Project is anti-democratic and contemptuous of the ordinary people."
The archetypal note from the anonymous commenter.
Wow - both the best and the worst members of the PLP are in that list. I guess all the MPs in between are just lobby fodder.
