Image Conscious
The papers report today that Labour leader - Ed Miliband - is to have a minor operation on his troublesome sinuses.
Nothing to do with his 'nasally' voice - say Ed's minders - it's to help him stop snoring and sleep better at night.
No doubt Ed's soon to be wife - Justine - will breathe a huge sigh of relief.
But it does make you wonder why people put up with things quite happily - for many years - but feel the pressure to conform once they're in the public eye.
I quite like Ed Miliband's nasal drone - and I admired the fact that the felt no need to get married to his long-term partner Justine - or have his name on his son's birth certificate.
Until he became Labour leader of course - then things had to change.
Just like Margaret Thatcher who had her teeth capped - and voice coaching lessons to 'lower' her rather strident voice.
Maybe it will make a difference - who knows - but it just goes to show how image conscious many politicians are these days.
