Ed Miliband will hire tails for the Royal Wedding

If you’re fed up with stories about what politicians will wear to the Royal nuptials, look away now — for I can confirm that Ed Miliband will wear a morning suit on the 29th of April. Miliband takes the view that a Royal Wedding is no time for gesture politics.
 
A Labour spokesman told me this morning that, “This wedding should be all about William and Kate. This is their big day. It is now clear that the appropriate thing is to wear a morning suit and that is what Ed will do.”
 
But Miliband doesn’t actually own a morning suit. He will now be heading down to Moss Bros to rent one. 
 
I hear that we’ll find out that Nick Clegg is deciding what he’ll be wearing today.
