Some missing consonants in my first post!
“What” and “rarely”

PS why should “mature ladies need to keep their hip area under cover”?
We all have hips and they were not “uncovered blush
Do you say the same about men?
Some women can be their own worst enemies.

I think wha professional women choose to wear is arely what you might call “latest fashion”
As it happens I thought they all looked great- good colours, smart business dress. hmm

Can it not be that Anna Soubry thinks what she wears suits her ?

Luciana Berger wore a lovely maternity dress not a dress stretched over her tummy with navel sticking out, this isn’t going with the flow

When watching the scene in Parliament yesterday, I couldn't help noticing the dress of the lady MPs who have broken away from the Tory party, Anna Soubry in particular. I know that there is a fashion for short jackets at the moment, but mature ladies need to keep their hip area under cover. A short jacket with a skirt looks very elegant....with tight trousers, not so. It would seem that these ladies want to appear terribly up-to-date, wearing the latest fashion, without regard to whether it suits them or not. Does this reflect their general character...people who 'go with the flow' instead of thinking for themselves? Sheep in other words. I would have more faith in someone who knows what suits her, and is concerned about how she looks rather than following the latest fad.
