Our mole reports that all rules have been set aside for one of the real PM’s favourite khakis. Given a half-way honest health test for promotion, he’d fail it. The larger than life khaki is diabetic but that doesn’t seem to get in his way. He’s also hypertensive but that isn’t a disqualification either. All khakis are equal, but some are more equal than others.
