I've long thought the PM should get a clothing budget: they'd all be UK brands and UK made, publicised every month in a good news story about showing off the Best of Britain. Then you give them to good causes or auction them off for charity. It's win/ win/ win. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Keir Starmer received more clothes worth £16,000

Don't we already have something like this for art in Downing Street and the Houses of Parliament? A massive collection curated by experts. Clothes would have to be a lot more dynamic obviously.

Entirely agree - though LOTO too? (After all Starmer was LOTO when receiving these). And, who else? Leaders of Lib Dems? Nats? Greens? Reform?

I'd expand that to PM and spouse/partner.
