His Jackness has a new outfit

One eagerly awaited highlight of today's Queen's speech is the outfit to be worn by Jack Straw, the new Minister of Justice who will take on the ceremonial role once performed by the Lord Chancellor.
Suspicion has lingered that Mr Straw is vain since his sudden appearance three years ago without the thick-lensed glasses he used to wear, apparently after undergoing laser eye surgery.

(Days later, Mr Straw blundered spectacularly by shaking the hand of Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe at an overseas conference - he blamed dim lighting in the room, but perhaps his remodelled corneas were still bedding in.)
Fears that Mr Straw was something of a peacock were fuelled when he told the Labour party conference what he planned to wear for today's state occasion - embroidered gown, frock coat, breeches, buckled shoes and silk tights.
All rather grand. No wonder his department has re-Christened him "his Jackness".
