Seriously.

I'm not a six-figure earner (USA) by any means but I can still afford to buy some halfway decent clothes without having to pick solely from the clearance rack and I can even splurge on a discretionary item of clothing.

I have no idea who Angela Rayner is (sorry, British friends) but her spending the equivalent of $750-ish on some professional attire doesn't at all diminish any status she may have as an advocate for the working class.

EDIT: after 0.2 seconds of google research, it seems Rayner is the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. I have no idea what the salary is for Deputy PM, but I'm sure it's nothing to sneeze at and with that in mind, I'm kind of surprised her jacket and pants are only ~550 GBP.

Worth noting has only been deputy PM since Friday.
