What the papers say: Theresa May’s wrong trousers and why Boris is ‘bang on the money’

It would be ‘wrong’ to dwell on the subject of Theresa May’s £1,000 leather trousers, says the Times in its editorial this morning. But equally it’s a mistake to pretend those trousers don’t exist when Tory backbenchers think the cost of them brings the PM’s judgement into question, the paper argues. The Times criticises Theresa May’s adviser, Fiona Hill, for the manner in which she hit out at the PM’s trouser critic, Nicky Morgan. The Mail on Sunday revealed yesterday that Hill sent a text to Morgan’s colleague, Alistair Burt, saying: ‘Don’t bring that woman to Downing Street again’, after the former education secretary criticised May’s sartorial choice. So what does this all tell us? And amidst the looming prospect of Brexit, should we really be worried about trousers? Yes, says the Times, which points out that if Downing Street had dealt with this issue properly and ‘floated above it’, we might not have needed to.
