A former prime minister is being forced to give up the weekly M&S shop and hunt for bargains after managing to put on half a suit.
Boris Johnson was spotted shopping at budget chain B&M in Didcot, Oxfordshire, which sells ‘big brands at sensational prices’ on Saturday.
He was pictured leaving the store dressed somewhat formally in a white shirt with the top buttons undone and sleeves rolled up, with a B&M carrier bag in hand.
Sadly he seems to have misplaced his trousers and put on a pair of shorts, to go nicely with his dress socks and smart shoes.
The shopper who snapped the pics says Boris drove off in a green Toyota Previa people carrier.
He could also be seen paying for his shopping at the tills.
The shopper said: ‘I was at B&M in Didcot and my wife said “I think that’s Boris Johnson” – it was definitely him.
‘It was just really interesting to see the ex-Prime Minister shopping at a B&M in Didcot.

‘He got in really old car – it was a Toyota Privia.
‘You don’t expect to see him in an old car, you expect to see people like that in flash cars.
‘It was a people carrier type of car, so he must use it to carry the kids around.’
This seems to be a slight downgrade from his time as leader of the government, after he and wife Carry renovated their Downing Street flat with ‘gold wallpaper’.
While leader of the Government, Mr Johnson was pictured shopping in the chilled meats section at M&S in 2021.
He was spotted scratching his head as he eyed up the refrigerated meats section and left with a carrier bag full of goods.
