#KEITHVAZ
A Sunday newspaper has claimed Labour MP and chair of the home affairs select committee, Keith Vaz, paid for the services of male escorts. @brianmoore666 tweeted: “I’d normally say what Keith Vaz does privately is none of our concern but not given the committee positions he holds and his acts re Janner.” @mattforde posted: “Maybe Keith Vaz just misunderstood what home affairs meant?” @Mattchorley said: “Keith Vaz ensuring that Ed Balls’ midlife crisis doesn’t look quite so bad now.” @issagaro tweeted: “Keith Vaz escapade raises serious issues. MPS hiding behind respectable personas. And media choosing which ones to protect or to ‘out’.” @Mskatenewsome opined: “Can’t claim to be Keith Vaz’s greatest fan but journalists & editors please note: it is never OK to out someone in print or broadcast media.”
#MARR
Prime Minister Theresa May made her first major interview since becoming premier on the Andrew Marr Show on Sunday morning, warning Brexit would not be “plain sailing” for the UK. @Pkakooza tweeted: “Well that was a whole lot of words spoken, with very few answers given. So basically, a whole lot of useless gibberish.” @montie said: “Mrs May has to choose between early election and serious social reform because she has no mandate for the latter and a majority of 12.” @piersmorgan shared: “Theresa May is very impressive. Calm, collected, intelligent. I think Britain lucked out here with our new PM.” @Petewishart noted: “‘Scotland will do exactly as they’re told on Brexit’ is what Theresa May seems to be saying to Scotland.” @bbcnickrobinson observed: “On Brexit timing, grammar schools & obesity, Theresa May elegantly avoids answering the question.”
#MOTHERTERESA
Pope Francis proclaimed Mother Teresa a saint in a ceremony at the Vatican. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata to help India’s poor. @Johncmaxwell tweeted: “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one Mother Teresa, who is being canonized today. I’m grateful for her ministry.” @Braidenht said: “Mother Theresa is up against Teresa of Avila & Therese of Lisieux to be the top St Theresa. That’s pretty tough competition.” @Officeofrg posted: “A symbol of service and compassion Mother Teresa showed the world the extraordinary power of love. We celebrate today that enduring legacy of love.” @msswaminathan observed: “On Mother Teresa’s sainthood, I hope qualities of compassion & concern will spread towards the path of gross national happiness & wellbeing.”
