Famous veterans stepped down quietly after louder Brexit election campaign

The UK election this month was mostly about Brexit while NHS is also one of the biggest interest of the people. The outcome, Tory's decisive majority, implies that the serial decisions will be made far quicker than before the election.

Looking at the parliament from a side way, some famous members have left the House of Commons as a result of the election or own wills. Even before the election, John Bercow had resigned as a Speaker, and Lindsay Hoyle, the former deputy speaker, was designated as a new Speaker.

Kenneth Clarke, the Father of the House until Nov 2019, retired after 50 years in politics. Like other former veteran MPs, we could expect to hear his voice through the media or public speeches perhaps.

Dennis Skinner, a veteran Labour politician since 1970, also known as Beast of Bolsover, has been defeated by the Tory candidate. Dennis Skinner has served as MP for almost a half century and is older than Kenneth Clarke who stepped down as mentioned.

Philip Hammond, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, stepped down as a MP at the election. He has strongly opposed to "No-deal" Brexit. It implies that he was presumably uncomfortable with the recent Tory leadership that does not rule out crashing out of EU without the deal.

Their resignations are because of their different reasons and wouldn't simply be attributed to a devision in the country. However, the veterans who have served for the last decades had some senses of unity, and they left the parliament. Hopefully, UK will be more united again in coming years.
