DOWNING STREET, LONDON – Prime Minister Keir Starmer has found himself embroiled in controversy after it was revealed that Lord Alli, a prominent Labour donor, footed the bill for a wardrobe overhaul for Starmer’s wife, Victoria.

However, to the untrained eye, the Prime Minister’s appearance remains as static as a political poll in the run-up to an election—suit, shirt, shoes, rinse, repeat.
Lord Alli, former chairman of online fashion retailer ASOS, reportedly splurged nearly £19,000 on work clothes for Starmer, including a range of suits that somehow manage to make him look as if he’s just stepped out of a 1990s time capsule. “I don’t know if he’s been shopping for clothes or just selecting from the same two suits he’s had since law school,” remarked a bemused stylist at Westminster café. Winston’s. “A change is overdue, but the reality is he still looks like he’s off to an office party—if that party were for accountants.”
Wardrobe malfunction
In an effort to clarify the scandal, Starmer stated, “It’s crucial that rules are adhered to, especially regarding financial interests,” while simultaneously looking like a carbon copy of his former self. Observers noted that while Victoria has seemingly embraced a new wardrobe, Keir appears blissfully unaware that clothes can also be exciting.
Critics have jumped on this apparent disconnect, calling for a full investigation not just into the financial aspects, but into Starmer’s apparent reluctance to step beyond his sartorial comfort zone. “Maybe if he wore something a little less predictable, people would forget about the whole Lord Alli affair,” one snarky commentator suggested.
For now, Starmer continues to advocate for compliance and transparency, all while appearing as though he’s just one ill-fated charity event away from a wardrobe malfunction. As the political landscape shifts, the Prime Minister may find it’s time for a makeover that goes beyond simply declaring the clothes he already wears.
