At a summer party last night, attended by David Cameron, one male member of the shadow cabinet wore these silver shoes. Can any readers guess the identity of the proud owner?
11.30am: It was David Willetts. Guests were invited to his home and asked to wear something bright. The host certainly did so! It was a great party, David. Thanks for the invitation.
George Osborne?

The bridegroom?

I'm less interested in WHO wore them than WHY someone wore them.

Alan Duncan.

If it's not Alan Duncan, then I'm going to be very worried...

Process of elimination - it sure as hell isn't Eric Pickles.

He appears to be a man of possibly less than average height, with a shoe size of 7 or under. This will eliminate the 6 footers.
Beyond that, one would have to consider the snappy dressers, or those with an iconic sense of humour. Alan Duncan??

Were the silver shoes free ?
If so, then it must be Nicholas Winterton.

The flamboyant IDS, of course!

Alan Duncan would be too obvious. Small shoe size and a little portly: Oliver Letwin?
More on grounds of likely sartorial non-conformity: Francis Maude.
Is there a prize for this?

Must be the Chief Whip!
Unless Edward Timpson (of cobbler fame) has had an early promotion!

You're all missing the obvious one: it's Cameron!

He was also spotted on the same day at the ConHome morning editorial meeting:

Michael 'Fabs' Fabricant maybe?!?
Posted by: Nic Conner | July 09, 2008 at 14:21
Just read it was David Willetts. Well dun to him I did not see that one.
Posted by: Nic Conner | July 09, 2008 at 14:26
That's a cruel headline. I got my hopes up for a moment!
