You'd never tweet about a male MP's appearance, as Theresa May hits back at Vaz- Theresa May has slapped down a senior Labour MP for making a jibe about her weight, saying female MPs would never "go around tweeting about" the appearance of their male colleagues.
The Home Secretary hit back at Keith Vaz, the chairman of the Home Affairs Committee, after he wrote on the internet this week that she was looking "thin" and questioned whether she was on a "new diet".A number of Tory MPs jumped to the defence of Britain's most senior female politician, accusing Mr Vaz of being "patronising” and “thoughtless”.
Speaking in Eastleigh, Mrs May stopped short of calling for an apology but said she is aware that "quite a number of people have made their views known to Keith on this issue".
That's because, in general, men aren't obsessed with the appearance of other men, dahling.
I love the way she doesn't say that her fellow women wouldn't talk about other women like that. Because she'd be lying.
Still, it's all seems to be good in the school playground that seems to be the House of Commons.
Oh, yes, and what did someone call Keith Vaz? Oleaginous? That was it.
