DIVORCE can be a very difficult time for most couples.

So it’s hard to understand why Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk and his selfie-obsessed wife Karen are slugging theirs out in the very public arena of social media.

Irrespective of the reasons for the break-up and who is most or least to blame, the couple have two young sons – only seven and five –who should be the most important people here.

Looking for public support for their “cases” with allegations and self-justification on Twitter is not only tacky and pointless but cruelly insensitive when it comes to their children’s needs.
