Speakers in grey suits



We have all become very aware of the political power of the visual image over these last few weeks.

So was it carefully planned, I wonder, that the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Lord Speaker, & the President of the United States of America, should process into Westminster Hall wearing what looks in the photographs, to be an identical shade of grey.

To point up the human diversity of the group: a black man, a short man and a lord who is a lady.
