Opposites attract

Sarah Vine and Michael Gove.

What the hell do these two talk about over dinner?  She's writing articles in The Times about black opaque tights; he's scrapping the system to expand free school meals to children living in poverty.  My mind is boggled.  Perhaps that chirrup on about their kids the whole time?

I love reading about fashion.  Not all of it and not all the time but it's a perennial interest of mine.  Sarah Vine is not as good as Jess Cartner-Morley in The Grauniad because JCM knows that ordinary people outside of the journalistic/political bubble exist and not only that, we don't need to be patronised. Vine, on the other hand, actually thinks her readership need to have it explained to them that a 3-pack of 60 denier opaques from Marks is better value than one pair for twice the price from Wolford.

Thanks for that, Mrs. Gove.  I couldn't do the arithmetic before.  I can see why you are married to the Educational Secretary.
