Inquiry into Morgan McSweeney’s beard & its influence on Government policy reopened
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has announced that it is reopening an inquiry into Morgan McSweeney’s beard and its influence on Government policy after reports that he played a role in the appointment of Lord Mandelson as US Ambassador.
Although representing a different strand of Labour right thinking McSweeney worked alongside Progress, another right-wing group strongly influenced by Mandelson in the 2010s.
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 and what influence it wields
