Not so much politicians themselves as their spokespeople, and particularly Trump’s spokespeople. She’s a perfect amalgam of Spicer, Conway, Huckabee Sanders and McEnany - though with more than a touch of Trump himself thrown in. The whole programme was excellent.

Oops… Antwerp Mayor caught on camera in underwear
The mayor of Antwerp, Bart De Wever, kicked off 2021 in an embarrassing manner when he was called out for not wearing trousers during an interview streamed online on Saturday.
Radio 2 presenter Kim Debrie was quick to point out his mistake: “You are wearing a very nice shirt, probably you donned it especially for us. But under that shirt, could it be that you are there in your underwear?”
Mr De Wever, head of the separatist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) party and one of the most powerful politicians in Belgium, apparently didn’t realise he was doing the interview in front of a mirror, which showed his bare legs below his chequered shirt.
“How can you know that?” asked Mr De Wever after being caught out. “Damn … The year begins with a particularly embarrassing moment, I will remember this for a long time.”

If you’re going to get caught in embarrassing situations you may as well do it in style! Mexican style!

You’re too kind, young sir. But I have to say that there’s a lot more grey in my hair than there is in that pic. On the other hand, of course, I have hair to go grey.
