David Cameron made a statement about the Panama Papers tax revelations in the House of Commons on Monday 11 April 2016, but did not convince one veteran MP.

Labour’s Dennis Skinner responded to the Prime Minister’s comments by referring to him as Dodgy Dave.

Speaker John Bercow asked the Bolsover MP to “think of another” word to describe Cameron. The 84-year-old replied, pointing at the Prime Minister:

"This man has done more to divide this nation than anybody else. He’s looked after his own pocket. I still refer to him as Dodgy Dave. Do what you like."

After refusing to withdraw this remark, Skinner was told to leave the chamber for the remainder of the day.[1][2]
