Forgive me for being confused. Last week, of course, the Mail
was raking Caroline Flint over the coals for her profligate wearing of
more than one outfit - clear evidence that she was a brazen
hussy in addition to being possibly a bit crap at housing policy. But today, they've changed their tack: Labour ladies, it seems, are unacceptably dowdy, particularly in contrast with the delicate blooms of the Conservative Party.
Tory chicks, it seems, have got their left-wing counterparts trumped in the style stakes. Harriet Harman looked perfectly dumpy in that stab-proof vest she was seen out in recently, and Jacqui Smith and Ruth Kelly aren't doing much better.
In contrast, paragons of Conservative lady-virtue such as Kirstie Allsop and Marina Johnson and style maven and certain future first lady Samantha Cameron look gorgeous in their 'splashy florals' and 'colourful coats', not to mention that they are admirably not worrying their pretty little heads about policy issues.
And don't think this won't resonate in the next election. Explains journalistess Karen Wheeler, 'It is easy to relate to girls' girls such as Kirstie Allsopp and Samantha Cameron. We're still not entirely sure what her husband stands for, but we can easily imagine ourselves sharing a bottle of Chablis and girly chat with her.'
It almost makes you wish that women had the right to vote.
