Johnson’s lack of respect

I don’t think he dresses this way to be deliberately disrespectful, or that he wears cheap clothes. However he’s put weight on, and you can see that both his jacket and his collar are too small. His posture is dreadful, but even so he would look much better if he just wore clothes that fitted him.

His jacket looks a bit tight to me.
He should have stood upright, shoulders back and pulled in his tummy like most of us do in photos ?

I don’t think he’s kept to that post-covid fitness regime!

He will never have male model looks but I don't judge people on their looks.
More what they do than how they look.

He hasn't got the leaf of the poppy at 11 o'clock either.

No clue, has he.

Clearly someone else has not got a clue!

His dress sense is abysmal but on this point you are incorrect.

They've changed their tune!!

I'm not incorrect as I said ^ No clue, has he.^

It's very odd this.

Now that lemon has reminded us of Corbyn's 'anorak' I looked it up. He got a thorough pasting from press and public for it.

But there's so much tolerance of overweight scruffy Johnson... Who doesn't even have any redeeming characteristics of honesty, sincerity, empathy, principles, morality, competence, etc. etc. etc.

hypocrisy is a word that springs readily to mind.

MaizieD not much tolerance from me. That's why I said I judge on what people do not how they dress.
If all you are worried about is BJs suit then you need to check out what he does.

I'm going to be charitable here and say "He tried"

But, as my school report used to say "Calistemon should try harder".
I never did get a prize for deportment

Calistemon similarly mine said, repeatedly, ‘could do better’ as could the PM in many ways.

I wouldn't care if he looked like Worzel Gummidge if he was a good PM

I think you’re over egging this MaizieD. I’m no fan of his, but Johnson is not scruffy. He’s overweight, and wears clothes that are too tight. He has poor deportment and dreadful hair. He does not look like a tramp, he looks like a man who is completely disinterested in how he looks, there are millions of men like that in the UK unfortunately.

I don’t see the connection between his appearance and his failures in other departments, which are fair game for criticism.

I think the press just picks the worse pictures to print.

I think that if you read my post you'll find that I know what he does

I am not his greatest fan. I think the scruffiness on top of all the rest just adds insult to injury.

I think the look is entirely intentional. Silly man.

It’s his look isn’t it??
Still, he is wearing a suit.
Not an anorak.

Who wore an anorak?

No one - she's just having a go.

Calistemon

In a way I do have some sympathy as I always manage to look like a sack of potatoes however hard I try.
My hair is "difficult" too!

His hair is falling out. It's the new style comb over that he's rocking.

Sounds like a good definition of scruffy to me.

Re my comment above at 16.43 - I thought Lemon was having a go at Michael Foot and his duffle coat. I forgot about Corbyn.

Dinahmo scruffy is surely unshaven, unwashed, unkempt and inappropriately dressed for the occasion. That’s what it means to me anyway.

To be honest, he is a mess. I thought he might have smartened himself up when he became Prime Minister, but no such luck. He looks a mess all the time. He needs to get some suits properly tailored to actually fit him properly. He’s always bursting out of his suit. He’s lost some weight since he was ill with Covid, but still looks scruffy. Carrie always looks nice, I thought she would have managed to influence him a bit, but obviously not.

I agree.

Im sure it wasn't intentional, but Gordon Brown's suits looked like they never fitted properly either.

Women MPs are criticised frequently for the way they dress so why should Boris be any different.

It looks as if his fitness regime is failing, or he has given it up, somebody should tell him that clothes that fit make such a difference

Since you have issued a fulsome apology I will forget your rude comment earlier.
