Pot and Kettle. MP who criticised Theresa May for wearing £995 trousers has a £950 handbag

Monday, 12 December 2016

MP for Loughborough constituency, Nicky Morgan found herself in hot water after her criticism of the Prime Minister's  £995 leather trousers. Seems it's a case of pot calling the kettle black as Mrs Morgan herself has a £950 Burberry bag she's quite fond of but her people say it was a present.

Mulberry Bayswater handbags, with their iconic golden lock and brushed leather interior, are highly prized but do not come cheap.

A source close to Mrs Morgan claimed the bag was about 12 years old and had been a gift.

Mrs Morgan also came under fire from fellow MP Nadine Dorries who pointed out that she never criticised David Cameron's pricey sartorial choices. She said: "It is clear that Nicky Morgan was looking for a reason to attack the Prime Minister rather than making a genuine criticism. I think it shows Nicky Morgan’s comments were sexist, because she never criticised David Cameron’s extremely expensive suits." Interestingly, the major players in 'Trousergate' are all women.
