Dennis Skinner has berated David Cameron and George Osborne after the latest Cabinet reshuffle.

The Labour MP for Bolsover said: "The cabinet reshuffle, of his (the Prime Minister's) B-team hasn't raised a ripple with the general public, whereas, on the other hand, those loud boos that greeted the Chancellor of the Exchequer will haunt the posh boys forever."

Mr Skinner then asked of Mr Cameron: "Why doesn't he be a man? Do the decent thing, call a general election."

The Prime Minister responded by saying: "It's very good to see the honourable gentleman back in such good form. I'm sorry that when I was forming my Government of all the talents I couldn't find him on my speed dial."

Mr Cameron joked that he had done something New Labour never managed by putting a former miner in his cabinet, saying he thought the Labour stalwart would appreciate that.
