Women's mag drivel: part 1 in an occasional series.

Readers of last week’s Grazia magazine learned that one of four exciting things to do that are SO NOW is“drunk shopping”. No really. “Shoes are just so much prettier and credit card bills far less scary after a few glasses of vino!” it slurred.

Elsewhere, the useless rag gave up on personal finance and tackled the weighty world of politics. Laura Craik knocked off a crashingly sycophantic profile of Tory wife Samantha Cameron. “David might be getting excited about the inheritance tax threshold,” she twittered, “but the naughty truth is that women aren’t half as interested in party policy as they are in Samantha’s clothes.”

Probably fair. Given that any legacies Grazia readers get their mits on will go straight towards paying off those un-scary credit card bills, how much they inherit is probably neither here nor there.

But Craik presses on: “If he (David) wants to swing the female vote, Sam Cameron in a yellow Topshop coat is a far bigger draw than any NHS reform.”

Here’s hoping Grazia readers’ livers hold out.
