THERESA MAY’S thigh-high black boots l eft many wondering whether it was suitable attire for a Home Secretary. On the contrary.

If anything, it was a votewinner among all of us women who have suffered similar middle-aged fashion misjudgments.

ED MILIBAND’s l atest wheeze i s to champion a ‘Turing law’ to pardon gays convicted of gross indecency in decades past. Curious, isn’t it, that while political leaders fall over themselves to court the pink vote, there is not one openly gay man in the Cabinet or Shadow Cabinet.

LABOUR’S Chuka Umunna says he feels uncomfortable when women s ay he’s ‘gorgeous’ and wants to be acknowledged f or hi s principles. He may not be the most attractive MP, but he’s certainly the vainest.

Well, that’s one way to justify the mansion tax!

PLEBGATE Tory MP Andrew Mitchell has to pay PC Toby Rowland £80,000 for falsely accusing the officer of lying.
