Tory leadership candidate Rishi Sunak has appeared in the North East tonight, and though his suit and tie were on point, the same could not be said for his shoes.
The candidate for Tory leader and Britain's next PM is facing off against Liz Truss at their first hustings debate in a traditionally Red Wall constituency, with the Conservatives gaining Darlington from Labour for the first time in 32 years at the December 2019. The debate is the fifth out of twelve debates that will take place in the lead-up to see who will take over from Boris Johnson in September.
And tonight, as he was on the stage at Darlington Hippodrome, an eagle-eyed photographer spotted that Sunak had a small hole in the sole of his left shoe and a rip in the side. The former chancellor's appearance is usually immaculate and he has even posed in the past with a £180 Bluetooth coffee mug.
