The inquiry examined claims published in the Sunday Mirror in 2016 that he offered to buy cocaine for male sex workers while posing as an industrial washing machine salesman.Vaz’s explanation, which included that he had amnesia and could not recall key events, was “not believable and, indeed, ludicrous”, the inquiry found.

How do they argue that Keith Vaz should be the candidate if there’s a December election? Guessing they don’t.

I know it's all just speculation but surely there's a chance that December/Christmas subconsciously helps Labour - homelessness/food bank use etc is so visible; we all feel quite guilty about over-consumption; sharing and collectivism is sort of baked into the ritual of it all— Eve Livingston (@eve_rebecca) October 29, 2019

After claims by Vaz’s friends that the MP may have been drugged during the newspaper sting, the Mirror released details of what it claimed was a second meeting between Vaz and the two men. It included a transcript of him allegedly ordering them to take up sexual positions.
Vaz denied that the purpose of his encounter with the two men was to engage in paid-for sex, the inquiry report said. “He asserts that the purpose was to discuss the redecoration of the flat in which the meeting took place. He claims that this was necessary because an ambitious programme of redecoration of his main residence, a detached house in north London, was about to begin. For the duration of those works, Mr Vaz and his wife would need to relocate to the nearby flat which he also owned.

Jeremy Corbyn wants to be Prime Minister. A few days ago the world learned of the death of Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, a ruthless terrorist organisation responsible for the deaths of thousands of people, including many UK citizens, why has he said nothing?— James Sorene (@Jsorene) October 29, 2019
