Beard Liberation Front
2nd July
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has announced an upgraded inquiry into Morgan McSweeney’s beard and its influence on Government policy after the debacle of the Welfare Bill in the Commons on 1st July
During National Beard Week at the end of June Labour leader Keir Starmer was named beard hater-pogonophobe- of the year. His clean shaven revisionism appears to be in line with that of his mentor Tony Blair who pioneered clean shaven revisionist politics as part of the New Labour brand.
The campaigners say that while McSweeney has not always worn a beard he appears to have done so during the Starmer era. The issue is not what McSweeney is trying to hide in or behind his beard- an age old pogonophobic prejudice- but what political purpose his beard serves as Keir Starmer’s right hand man given that the leader himself is a notorious clean shaven revisionist
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, beards in New Labour 25 years and more ago were controversial and this remains the case with the 2025 version of clean shaven revisionist politics. We are determine to get to the root of what McSweeney’s beard is all about
