It’s fair to say it wasn’t his usual style, although ‘style’ might be overdoing it, obviously.

Aww – he got his glow-up! Hope to see a montage of it on the Downing Street account later. Until then I’ve got one message for the M&S that refused to serve the man in the inside-out tracksuit last week. Big mistake. Huge! https://t.co/8DJ0bOm8sb

The polls have gone to shit, Dom. Get yourself a fucking suit, walk in with a colleague, look chatty and reasonable. https://t.co/Lfv7cI0sXr

I would tweet something about Dom's new suit. But to be honest, it just feels like shooting fish in apparel. https://t.co/wBYJRHxH8O
