In an era of austerity the PM spends nearly £1000 on a pair of trousers. Not exactly the message that is meant to be sent
I imagine that every single individual in the supply chain from farmer, to abatoir, to tannery, to designer, to sales girl in the shop, right up through to No11 pocketing the £165 in VAT to help pay for delivery of services to the most vulnerable in our society really wishes she hadn't bought them... |

I trust you are giving up your lifestyle and selling all your unnecessary things you own so that these poor people can survive? If not then don't criticise others for what they own and possess.

When you want sexist comments you can always rely on women to have a go at other women, men couldn't care less about how much women spend on clothes unless it is SWMBO.
As others have said no one comments on a male politician spending £3k on a suit. |

Sexism alive and well in the UK.
Nobody talks about male politicians' clothing. |

I assume that Blair and Brown must have brought their suits from the church jumble sale then?

It was actually quite a nice coat. Apparently the Queen complimented him on it. The press, and this shouldn't surprise anyone, make a big fuss about nothing.
No, I don't believe it.

If a new male Prime Minister had posed for photos in an £18,000 bespoke suit, no one would have mentioned it.
And I doubt many men could care less about (or would even notice) what clothes Theresa May was wearing in a homely photo with lots of soft furnishings. Other women on the other hand... |
