I am not a great fan of Keith Vaz but sexist, patronising, or just a silly thing to say?

Had he had said "that woman has put on a bit of weight" or "she is looking a little thin" I could understand their comments, but he had noticed that she had trimmed down a little and wondered if she was on a diet or had been working a little too hard.

What is wrong with that?

"What is wrong with that?"

Nowt. Are you finally wising up to the DM?

[Canary42]

Even for the Mail, that's scraping the barrel.

Oh dear, oh dear, the usual anti-Daily Mail comments, will it be a little better coming from the Times?

I don't know why some of you bother to open up Daily Mail links if they upset you so much?

pots and kettles I feel!

perhaps he was concerned she is ill, doesn't seem anything to get worked up about.

I think it's a bit much for KV to make any remarks about someone's appearance.

If that photo is anything to go by, the appearance that he is cultivating is "scruffy git in a badly fitting shirt who can't fasten his tie properly"

Either that, or "just been in a fight"

I have to confess to being a bit biased, because I think KV is a bit of a dick.

JJ...I agree can' t stand the sanctimoniuous "git"............but in fairness his comments were complimentary in my opinion.

Don't hold back say it has you find it Jayne, but it would seem that from your remarks Mr Vaz is being a perfect gentleman in his remarks.

Incidentally the only photo in that link doesn't show his badly fitting shirt or poorly fastened tie.

[joggerjayne]

AOG (surely "Excalibur"? Ed.) may be right about the photo.

It's not a badly fitting shirt. The shirt is fine.

Keith Vaz just has a badly fitting body.

[Sqad]

JJ....and a face that's just asking for a " smacking?"

[emmie]

i don't like him, but don't think he was being sexist, if he had grabbed her boobs then perhaps, though that seems rather unlikely.

[joggerjayne]

I think TM looks pretty good, actually.

Except for that fkn awful brown dress. Where in the name of god did she get that?

It looks like she bought it back in 2010 when she was a bit of a porker, and now she's just pinned up all the excess fabric.

Apologies Jayne, about the photo, I was looking at the Times report, trust the good old Daily Mail to provide us with much more information than most others.

See what you mean about Vaz's shirt and Teresa's rather crumpled little brown dress number, it looks as if the two of them have been cozying up to each other.

[joggerjayne]

Oh yuck, what a thought!

lol

[ludwig]

I'm worried about Keith Vaz. He looks a bit fat.
