We like Sarah

The Telegraph's Deputy Political Editor, Robert Winnett, reports that Sarah Brown has resorted to renting expensive designer outfits for official functions, and seems to approve.

Mrs Brown is said to usually wear clothes from high-street retailers such as Marks & Spencer and New Look. However, a friend of the Prime Minister's wife, said: "Sarah thinks it's important to dress well for big State occasions, and renting her dresses makes that a bit more affordable."

It looks like a piece of spin to me but the Telegraph seems to like Sarah for not being Cherie, as this piece by the amazingly bitchy Andrew Pierce shows.
