Dressing down

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: You must feel a bit sorry for poor old Christopher Luxon.

His appearance at National Lamb Day was a positive that got sidetracked somewhat by the fact that as he arrived at the event he was handed and asked to wear a meaty T-shirt, which he immediately put on over his shirt & tie.

Some supposed fashion 'expert' screamed that this was a terrible fashion mistake, and that became the headline.

Good on him for turning up to promote one of the country's biggest export industries.

Your old mate hears that the sight of the PM  with a chop, however, brought a few snide comments about the symbolism of this, such as "will he eat the chop or will he get the chop" - a cynical reference to recent poll numbers.
