EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant era of the 1960s. It captures a momentous day in British politics as Leo Abse, the flamboyant Labour MP for Pontypool, arrives at the House of Commons on budget day. What sets him apart is not only his charismatic presence but also his impeccable sense of style. Dressed in his budget day clothes, Abse dons a bespoke suit made from luxurious Welsh tweed. This choice reflects both his Welsh heritage and his commitment to supporting local industries. As he strides confidently towards Parliament, it is evident that fashion is not just an accessory for him; it is a statement of individuality and pride. Beyond being a fashion icon, Leo Abse was renowned as a passionate campaigner and advocate for gay rights during a time when such issues were still considered taboo. His presence within the political sphere brought attention to important social causes that had long been neglected. This photograph perfectly encapsulates Abse's role as both politician and trendsetter. With London's iconic House of Commons serving as the backdrop, it reminds us that politics can be stylish too. Through Tom King's lens, we witness an extraordinary man who used every opportunity to challenge norms while looking impeccably smart doing so.
