Keith Vaz MP caught with rent boys: the best five tweets

Normal Bates. Updated September 4th, 2016

The Mirror has got quite the scoop which has sent social media into a frenzy. Labour MP Keith Vaz has been caught booking male escorts for, well, whatever you might do with male escorts.

Much of the amusement is that Mr Vaz pretended to be a washing machine salesman.

Anyway – here’s the best five tweets – enjoy them – a good parliamentary sex scandal doesn’t come around every day:

1.

Feel strangely heartened by this Keith Vaz story: we Asians can also be involved in scandals involving rent boys and poppers. #integration

Biggest surprise about Keith Vaz is that he sells industrial size washing machines.

Keith Vaz's wife is called Valerie Vaz. She's had things tough as no one can ever say her name without singing it to the Blankety Blank tune

Keith Vaz. Reminds me of a friend who met a lad on Grindr. Told him to bring poppers. Turned up with a bag of these. pic.twitter.com/HrqPnW00Mh

We’re also amused by the detail, “the MP then got into a discussion with the escorts about the price of houses in London”. This eternal conversation that doesn’t even escape MPs hanging out with escorts. Wonder if they did school catchment areas too?

And we’ll leave the final (serious) comment to @Otto_English who writes, “Vaz’s sexuality is his business. The fact he’s chair of a powerful parliamentary group probing vice & drugs is ours.”
