No Madame Tussauds waxwork for Starmer over fears he will become 'irrelevant' despite replicas for other PMs
Madame Tussauds has revealed it will not currently be making a wax work of Sir Keir Starmer, as they cannot be sure he will stay relevant for long enough.
The waxwork museum has made a model of almost every British prime minister up until recently, including David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson.
However, the tradition appears to have ended after a rapid turnover of leaders post-Covid, particularly Liz Truss’s brief tenure as Prime Minister lasting just 49 days.
I reckon it has more to do with the possibility of Free Gear setting a new record -
In the three-year term that Gordon Brown was prime minister, Madame Tussauds asked the public to vote on whether he should get a waxwork before the next election, to which 83.8% said no.
One brainless dummy is enough.
ReplyDeleteThere's a risk that the wax dummy could be sent to an International conference by mistake.
ReplyDeleteA wax dummy of Sir Plastic Person would be de trop.
ReplyDeleteSam - yes, although a wax version would be more honest.
ReplyDeleteDJ - good point, someone would give it a go to see if anyone notices.
dearieme - it could fill in for him at Arsenal matches though.
The public would stick pins into was model.
ReplyDeleteEffing smell chequer. Was = wax
ReplyDeleteDoonhamer - yes, spell checkers can be a new sense.
