An apparently freshly coiffed Boris Johnson sparked conversation on social media in the UK on Monday. The British Prime Minister usually wears his hair tousled and with no noticeable cut.
On Monday he appeared in a debate on Afghanistan in the House of Commons with his hair neatly trimmed and, as some suspected, combed.
Johnson visited Queen
A Twitter user speculated that the conservative politician might have dressed up for the Queen. No unreasonable consideration: As a government spokesman confirmed, Johnson had visited the 95-year-old queen at her summer residence Balmoral in Scotland at the weekend. Elizabeth II traditionally spends the summer months there.
The House of Commons met again on Monday for the first time after the summer break. As always, the vast majority of MPs were properly coiffed. Masks, however, were only worn sporadically on the tightly packed green benches.
