Whatever else may have come about from it, whether he was right or wrong to refuse to withdraw the comment.

He pulled even greater attention to it by being told to leave the Commons,with a very sad faced Speaker to have to tell him to do so and the apparent cheering from the govt benches at an 80 year old man being forced to leave the chamber just for what he said.

Brought back memories of the elderly man ejected from a Labour Conference some years back, which was also thought shameful and pathetic.
I think with the wider audience and getting on the national news reports too, the sympathy here will be more with Dennis Skinner than the smug looking Conservative front bench.
