A better groomed P.M Is this of significance ?

TopsyIrene06, I think you've got it bang to rights. Perhaps the Queen sent him a new comb especially for the occasion. A bit like Queen Elizabeth 1 who told a returning self exile when, after many years, he reappeared at court, that she had forgot the fart. Or.....he's preparing for an election.

Yes I bet that's the Balmoral haircut!

"Reaction" says he may be getting ready to assert authority in a reshuffle.
They also say:

Boris is obsessed with what voters are saying and when they’re saying he looks terrible then action is required, even from Britain’s scuffiest man. Even his fans could not fail to spot that on a recent trip out mid-Afghan crisis, he sported unkempt hair that was worse than ever. He looked like a shellshocked Michael Heseltine after an accident with a lawnmower.

I heard today that he spent the weekend at Balmoral with the Queen so maybe he was encouraged to tidy himself up. Not before time in my humble opinion.

That will be it!!

And going back to skool.

He had a haircut but still didn't manage to tuck his shirt in. When he pushed his jacket back a bit his shirt was untucked over his bum.

I shall look tonight and see if there is a difference. He is a disgrace usually, hair cut with a knife and fork, wearing a suit with all the style and panache of a burst sofa. Compare him to Trudeau and Macron and it is embarrassing. As for a new squeeze, I don't think he would dare.......but maybe he has been inspired by seeing Gove throwing shapes on the dance floor....

Oh Gill!

hair cut with a knife and fork which reminds me, having looked in the mirror, I must make an appointment at the hairdresser's.

This is what was printed in “India today “

The Speaker said he wanted everyone to look smart when parliament resumed so maybe it was in response to that. Now perhaps the Speaker will attempt to a) get him to actually answer questions and b)answer them truthfully #i’mnotholdingmybreath

Tomasz Schafernaker has had a haircut too!
Looking so much better, Tomasz

Perhaps the lockdown ungroomed look is passè now

Passé

(Autocorrect)

Oh, leave him alone. Why this obsession for everyone to look the same?

...and still only a handful wearing face masks...

No one said anyone had to look the same, but for someone in a high profile public role to deliberately foster a look which shows disrespect for that role - appearance which would get you continually reprimanded for if you were a secondary school student - untucked shirt, tie not done up properly , unkempt hair, then I think it worthy of comment. It shows a lack of effort and a lazy attitude which possibly mirrors his attitude to his work.

I don't care how he looks to be honest. It doesn't reflect how effective and competent someone is - but I would like him to "step up" to be honest. As MayBee70 said, he could start with answering questions in parliament.

While looking smart is not a guarantee of competence, with very few exceptions (mad scientists) someone who always looks a mess and seems constantly in chaos, is rarely competent.

I always though the dishevelled look was an attempt to cover up the fact that his hair was thinning a bit. Has he had a weave???

He couldn't have looked much worse, could he?

Looks like the beginning of a Trump-style combover.

If he has then he should demand a refund ?

What he looks like is irrelevant, it’s what he does that matters. Would we rather he looked suave and sophisticated like some but were inept and governed by hindsight. I’m not saying he gets things right before the inevitable pile on, just that his appearance isn’t the be all and end all. Just my opinion.

gets things right
as if.
