Did anyone else hear Labour MP Keith Vaz belittling and bullying a mother of a solider who died in Iraq on Radio 5 live this morning? She wanted to meet the PM to talk about her son and Blair has been turning down the requests to meet her.

It is shameful that Keith Vaz acted like a bully when it was him that complained about the bulling in the Celebrity Big Brother house and made the whole thing a political football.

While it also seems unfair that Shilpa, who clearly need to visit the House of Commons for the good of relations between the UK and India, gets to spend time with PM while this mother of a man who died in Iraq gets her request dismissed so lightly by the PM. And what about the pensioners who matched to London to lobby parliament?

Interesting to note if parliament and Keith Vaz hadn't had got so involved it wouldn't have become such a big diplomatic incident as it did.
