And that's where the problem lies. Mrs May's now famous leather trousers were once walking beings. And now they are showing every indication that they have developed a second life of their own. But it's not the anti-leather brigade that have been burning rubber outside Number 10. Oh no, it's rumblings from within.
It's the cost. Yes, £995 for a pair of leather trousers. Not just any old M&S pair, but by Amanda Wakeley. (Bless her. Never heard of her, but all this attention can't be bad for business.) Now you and I might think that a thousand quid is a bit steep for a pair of trews. If someone gave me a thousand pounds I can assure you I would not be looking to turn my ample thighs into "bitter chocolate" reflector boards. No sirree. But how Mrs May chooses to spend her money is her prerogative. She has no children (I whisper this) so she can afford to splash the cash. But it wasn't very savvy of her to indulge her evident love of fashionable attire whilst professing to be concerned about the just about managing sector of society.
She could have got away with it if it had not been for the lippy Mrs Morgan, former Education Secretary, who perpetuated the debate by suggesting that Mrs May was "diverting attention" from Brexit. By wearing leather trousers?
Then it gets worse. Mrs Morgan has been excluded from talks in No. 10.
"Don't you dis my trousers, girl!"
Then Nadine Dorries accuses Nicky Morgan of "rank hypocrisy " because she owns a £1000 Mulberry handbag.
Nicky Morgan's friends say that it is 12 years old and had been a gift. Na-na-nana-na!
This is just ghastly. I hate it when women, not just those in high places, conform to the stereotypical image held by many men.
Too much talk. Think more and say less.
