DISGRACED MP Keith Vaz has refused to resign because that is not how Labour works these days.

Vaz has advised colleagues that hugely negative media coverage, polls showing massive unpopularity among voters and any vote of no confidence will be ignored, because we are in an era of a kinder, gentler politics.

He said: “As Jeremy Corbyn said I have not committed any crime, voters only think I should resign because the traitorous parliamentary Labour party has plotted against me.

“Everyone needs to focus on the upside rather than being really judgemental and negative.

“I remain confident I could draw the same numbers to public speaking events around the UK as a mid-level indie band, like maybe Shed Seven or Carter USM if they are still going.”
