I know you shouldn't be so superficial about these things, but politicians (well anyone, but particularly them and lawyers) in untidy, ill fitting suits is a pet hate of mine.
Dominic Cummings ?
To be perfectly honest, I’ve never had much regard for him. His manner, his attitude, his dress. You wouldn’t expect somebody to turn up at No 10 in bloody tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt. What does that portray to the rest of the world?

I find this sort of stuff really interesting. On the one hand, I really agree that it looks shabby etc. But then on the other hand I detest how image-focused and trapped in 'tradition' UK politics is, and I wonder if we removed all the bollocks (grabbing a ceremonial mace to make a protest?), and treated them as normal people we might be able to focus on actual real issues. I once heard politics described as 'show-biz for ugly people', which is a bit harsh, but the current Govt seem to be not far off that with their conduct.
Cummings is a bad example for this in terms of what he did (continues to do?), but I was secretly hoping that he would make positive change whilst avoiding all the posturing of going along with some of the Politics theatre.
