I don't think the pictures were released to remind us of how wonderful a campaigner she is.
I must be one of those who disappoints you with the quality of my mind because I only see them as highly amusing. Not in a sexist way either, I'd still laugh if David posed for the same photographs in the same gear.
The pictures are so bad, especially the big feet, I don't know how they can't be ridiculed.... plus since the days of "Are you being served" there's always got to be room for pussy innuendo.
