Andy Burnham, the UK’s Labour Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, was caught in thick mascara at Prime Minister’s Questions on Thursday (glamor shot here). It might seem a light affair, but the peril for the British public is substantial. As Taxtrust points out, the gentleman from Leigh with an otherwise meaningless departmental title, will have to actually do something now. That is, lest be be remembered exclusively as the British Breck Girl. FWIW, Burnham has denied using any cosmetics, in a classic Kelly LeBrock defense. Don’t hate him because he’s beautiful.
