A SENIOR Labour backbencher has been accused of sexism after suggesting Cabinet minister Theresa May was "looking a bit thin".
Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, made the controversial comment in a post on Twitter.
"A bit worried about Home Secretary she is looking a bit thin these days. A new diet or pressure of work?" he wrote.
