After Hartlepool: Starmer must ditch the suits & grow a beard
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that after a resounding defeat in the Hartlepool By-Election, voters have sent a clear message to Keir Starmer that he needs a change of image.
His efforts to look like a smarter Boris Johnson, but with similar policies, over the last year have clearly failed. Voters appear to prefer the slightly dishevelled and more informal style of the current PM.
The BLF says out must go the sharp suits in favour of less formal jackets. Out too must go shaving with a beard an essential way for Starmer to lead on style over Johnson.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, while many political commentators focus on policies, style is a major part of modern politics in an increasingly visual age. The tough reality is that Johnson’s style is popular and Starmer’s is not. He needs to change.
