It started with Mandy:
Versatile face-fuzz: easy to blend in with the officer class, but also a Frankie Goes to Hollywood mosh pit. It shouted out confidently: 'I'm Labour, fly me - anywhere, any how!'
Then it moved on to Bob Ainsworth:
Nostalgic face-fuzz: a back-to-the-future tache that seemed to have been photoshopped from 'I'm All Right, Jack'. A strip of lip pube that made the party seem as though it was about to re-introduce National Service, Brylcream and Lyons Tea Houses. The fact that Bob had got David Blunkett to trim his hair only added to the impression that here was a party running away from modernity.
Now the tough tache challenge has been handed on to David Miliband:
Yes. The pre-pubescent pube plot. The moustache that dare not come completely out of the closet. Would you trust a tache like this? It captures Labour's identity crisis well: it isn't just unsure of what it wants to stand for, it also isn't sure if it can manage it anyway. Like his beliefs, does he even know that there's something there?
