Portulent Labour MP Keith Vaz is very upset about a Coca-Cola Christmas truck visiting Leicester, warning that in “each can of Coke there are seven teaspoons of sugar”. Yet Vaz hasn’t always been able to hide his sweet tooth, even opening a sweet shop, Sweetalicious, in his constituency. Vaz had this to say at the opening:

“It will be a trip down memory lane with shelves filled with brightly coloured jars of sweets from all over the world.  The only problem will be wondering what to chose from the amazing range of sweets. I have a sweet tooth, so I will have to be very careful and not over indulge.”

Perhaps he’s on a health kick…
