Beard Liberation Front to hold special meeting to advise on Starmer image crisis
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that it will hold a special meeting on Saturday to consider advice to Labour Leader Keir Starmer on what it is now a full blown image crisis.
In a Survation poll published on Friday Labour had slipped 5 points to 33%, 6 points behind the Tories on 39%.
The campaigners say that it is clear that Starmer has an image crisis with voters. Too many voters see the Labour leader as just another clean shaven politician in a suit with a sharp haircut.
By contrast Boris Johnson consistently dishevelled appearance, while hardly that of a traditional Prime Minister, stands out and seems to make the Tory leader appear idiosyncratic and distinctive to voters.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, we will consider what image advice we can give to Keir Starmer to improve the poll ratings. Some say of course that it is not image but a lack of policies that is the issue. Frankly however what actual policies does Boris Johnson have aside from ones he makes up to suit the expediencies of the moment from time to time? Politics in 2021 is about image and Keir Starmer is failing to cut through.
