    David Cameron Has Glasses Now

    PM figures out the vision thing.

    A new sight: the nation's prime minister sported a pair of glasses for the first time in public today. David Cameron slipped on the specs during an appearance before a committee of MPs.

    Cameron has needed the glasses for reading for a while, as he later acknowledged on Twitter:

    Twitter users had some amusing if predictable responses:

    The Prime Minister follows in the footsteps of his Deputy Nick Clegg, who donned his own pair for the first time last year.

    It seems that the stress of high office accelerates the ageing process. Tony Blair similarly needed glasses only a couple of years into his premiership, something he admitted to "feeling self-conscious about".

    Meanwhile, Ed Miliband admitted last year that he "used to wear big glasses" in his student days. If he wants to court the hipster vote in 2015, maybe Miliband should reclaim that look?
