To think Starmer seriously needs a better haircut

The current hair is just awful, a weird 50s throwback style. Why isn't the Labour party hiring people to style him to look (and sound) professional for leadership? It's not enough these days just to be yourself and jog along. It's serious.

All those saying his hairstyle doesn't matter but berating Boris for his 🧐

With Boris it wasn't so much the haircut. If that was genuinely how is hair looked then fair enough. It was the fact that it was a carefully constructed act by 'Al'. Ruffling it deliberately before appearances.
Similarly a multi millionaire can't afford a suit that fits him? I bet he doesn't dress like that in private.

Papyrophile · 12/10/2023 15:32

He's a good looking chap, tidy grooming, unostentatiously well turned out in a professional style, in decent shape. I prefer my politicians to look like him, rather than an unmade bed.

pointythings · 12/10/2023 15:33

Thing is, he's mostly grey. Grey hair is more wiry and springy, as I have cause to know. So it's going to be harder to control now. Personally I couldn't care less though. I just want a government of adults, not braying schoolboys.

Crikeyalmighty · 12/10/2023 15:34

He actually looks quite like my H - similar hair too when on that picture- same build too

Mine too.

Maybe that's why I'm coming over all unnecessary Grin

The only person I know they has actually met him and chatted to him really fancied him! Make of that what you will…

I don't doubt it Grin

bombastix · 12/10/2023 15:37

@beguilingeyes / actually he does dress like this is private

bombastix · 12/10/2023 15:38

In private!

verdantverdure · 12/10/2023 15:39

Met a former CPS lawyer who worked with him when he was DPP. Asked what she thought of him and she paused for a long time before replying, “he has magnificent buttocks”

I BET HE DOES @DelurkingLawyer 😂

Strong glutes are the very basis of a firm protestor holding off stance. Grin

He looks ridiculous like he's auditioning to be in Oasis tribute band. They all need complete overhauls, from their overdone bouffants to their awful speaking voices.
Don't they have folk to advise on these matters?

onanotherday · 12/10/2023 15:42

So what were your thoughts on Johnson's look??

verdantverdure · 12/10/2023 15:42

Crikeyalmighty · 12/10/2023 14:50

He isn't 62 by the way- he's just 61- as am I - and he's looking a damn sight more in better nick than most 61 year old males out there - I think people think he is considerably younger than he actually is

I'd better not ever meet him. I'll come over all hair twiddly Princess Diana looking up through the eyelashes Grin

A former CPS lawyer commented on someone's buttocks?? How very professional

Bit dishevelled, needed a better haircut not unlike Starmer himself.

Maybe some people just want to be their real authentic selves and not take advice on how to appear to be something else?

Crikeyalmighty · 12/10/2023 15:50

@verdantverdure ha, ha- I used to fancy Andy Burnham too and Tristram Hunt .

Peterpiperspickledpepper · 12/10/2023 14:11

Quite dishy

😮

During party gate there was one particular PMQs when KS got really angry and demolished BJ at the dispatch box. We need to see more of that passion from him. He's bloody great in cross examination mode.

EasternStandard · 12/10/2023 16:00

I’m sure there’s a lot of posters falling over at him on this thread but yeh.. no

Just the voice, look and weight

BodegaSushi · 12/10/2023 16:15

Then he should sail in because he's heaps better looking than Cameron was.

Peterpiperspickledpepper · 12/10/2023 16:15

@EasternStandard lol. Not a surprise.

Agree with you on the voice. Nasally, puts me right off.

EasternStandard · 12/10/2023 16:18

Peterpiperspickledpepper · 12/10/2023 16:15

@EasternStandard lol. Not a surprise.

Lol at someone like you following what I think that closely

Not a surprise 😂

Must fancy old Starmer or else. Nasally voice and all - exactly @BodegaSushi

Peterpiperspickledpepper · 12/10/2023 16:21

@EasternStandard nobody said you had to fancy him. It’s surely about the policies. Sunak sounds like Tony Blair who I quite admired. Does it make him anywhere near as competent, nope.

Most posters are going on about finding him ‘dishy’

It’s clearly a superficial thread.

Not sure why it’s making you react, you have your poster boy, boggle away

I won’t stop you, just not join in

pointythings · 12/10/2023 16:27

I don't fancy him at all. I just think he's sensible, intelligent and capable and the right person to take over from the current government of chaos.
