Just looking at his Wiki entry and saw this:
Skinner has been suspended from Parliament on at least ten occasions, usually for "unparliamentary language" when attacking opponents. Infractions have included:
In 1984 accusing Margaret Thatcher of bribing judges
In 1992, referring to the Minister of Agriculture John Gummer as "slimy" and a "wart".
In 1995, accusing the government of a "crooked deal" to sell off Britain's coal mines.
On 8 December 2005, when referring to the economic record of the Conservatives in the 1980s, making the remark, "The only thing that was growing then were the lines of coke in front of boy George and the rest of the Tories", a reference to allegations originally published in the Sunday Mirror of cocaine use by the Shadow Chancellor, George Osborne (though, in the Commons, Skinner referred to the News of the World).
On 20 April 2006, accusing Deputy Speaker Sir Alan Haselhurst of leniency towards remarks made by opposition frontbencher Theresa May "because she's a Tory".
