Then explain why a major scandal involving the chairman of the home affairs select committee. ( labour) was ignored in favour of a fluff piece about a former prominent politician (also labour) on a dance contest?
But to say that the BBC is pro-Labour does suggest that you don't watch the BBC that much. The BBC is pretty much a state broadcaster and has always tended to toe the line of the respective government in power, hence its pro-Tory bias since 2010. |

Understand he's stood down as chair of the home affairs select committee.
I don't understand why he did this? Not very clever as an MP most people look up to him. It shows a lot of them are just in it for the money.

I see he's claiming it was a setup, but even if it was, he didn't need to fall for it. After all, the press has been after him for a long time.

Agreed, setup or not, he seems to have been a more than willing participant.

So look for a link when there is zero reason to. bizarre. You could look for links between anything if you require no reason to.
Ive read what the committee do and no link what so ever there. try again |

https://youtu.be/wvLI_S7vN_8 I've never liked Vaz, he came across as sanctimonious on many an occasion, this story is delicious. |

Given how much Vaz loves himself I presumed his idea of romance was regular onanism in front of a large mirror.

"So Vaz likes a bit of Polish sausage" "Don't we all. Got anything newsworthy?" Which although in jest, has a point. Because there's more tolerance, gay MPs aren't a shock or resigning matter.. But this is another in a long list of issues where Vaz has perhaps been a bit shady. |

Vaz, as Chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, is in a position of trust and his position means he will be in receipt of considerable amouts of information not in the public domain. His past political history is not exactly commendable and any impropriety on his part, even if not technically illegal, isn't exactly a feather in his cap. My bet is that he will resign, at least his committee chairmanship or be suspended, though both or either may be averted by what he knows about who he knows. The Hinduja affair should have seen him out on his ear, 15 years or so ago.

I always found Vaz's holier than thou act nauseating. In the late 80s it was well known in activist circles in my home town of Nottingham that he was not your regular 'family man'. It just too nearly 30 years for the truth to come out.
Corbyn will be breathing a sigh of relief that constituency is safe Labour as surely Vaz will be resigning very soon |

I was just going to post that. The guy who outed Saville on TV is saying much more to come. In fact Telegraph / Guardian ran stories in 2015 linking Vaz to Janner.
Looks to me that Mirror has got fed up sitting on story whilst police investigate so have done a bit of digging to get 'a' story out in open. The known police activity probably explains BBC/SKY reticence to run big with story until they checked. Articles from last year When news first broke on 16 April that Janner would not stand trial on 22 counts of child abuse because of his dementia, I asked Vaz via Twitter whether he would care to comment about his support for Janner. He first reacted by blocking me. He unblocked me, but didn’t respond. I assumed that he would speak after my article was published and widely circulated, but no. A week on, and the failure to respond properly to the issues I have raised continues. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...P=share_btn_tw http://www.theguardian.com/politics/...P=share_btn_tw After Greville Janner protested his innocence over child abuse allegations in 1991, Keith Vaz and 15 other MPs campaigned for laws to be changed to grant anonymity to people accused of child abuse in court evidence I |

John Whittingdale MP was asked about Vaz on Sky News, not surprisingly
he didn't go on the attack.Later on Sky News Diane Abbott talked of the distress and heartbreak it must be causing him & his family. Abbott almost did a Sir Humphrey by saying something on the lines that therefore she couldn't possibly comment, but she caught on camera laughing presumably because she felt she'd got away with not commenting. |
