I know she said it slipped as she lent forward, but she also said it was an Off-the-Shoulder dress - which in my opinion it wasn't!

I believe she's described it as "slightly off-the-shoulder".

 

I admit that my "conspiracy theory" alarm is going off rather a lot at the moment, but I really can't help suspecting Dominic Cummings' hand is behind the quite ridiculous over-reaction to this. What Brabin was actually complaining about was the outrageous, Trumpian, attempt by No. 10 to stop journalists they didn't like from attending a press briefing. At the same time, Cummings is banning cabinet ministers from appearing on Newsnight or The Today Show, and only today the Government launched yet another attempt to neuter the BBC by attacking their (already agreed) funding.

 

This is the real issue here: the Government's attempt to silence dissenting voices and avoid being held to account in any meaningful way for the next five years.

But what are we all talking about instead? A bloomin' dress...
