First it was the pubs. Now it’s the salons. Britain’s Labour MPs are rapidly becoming the least welcome guests at the nation’s two most sacred institutions: the boozer and the barber’s chair. In a spectacular show of sass and scissors, hairdressers are downing their combs and joining pub landlords in barring Labour MPs, including Sir Keir β€œCan-I-speak-to-the-manager” Starmer, over spiralling business rates.

Let’s just say… it’s about to get shaggy. And thirsty. Very, very thirsty.

βœ‚οΈ No Trim, No Tonic, No Tolerance

Picture this: Labour MPs wandering the streets like extras from a rejected Peaky Blinders rebootβ€”greying temples, split ends flapping in the wind, fading dye jobs that scream β€œmid-life crisis in Islington.” Add to that their newfound pariah status at local pubs, and you’ve got a tragicomic parade of dry throats and dried-out perms.

All because they didn’t think strangling small businesses with ridiculous rate hikes would come back to bite themβ€”in the hairline and the hangover.

It’s almost poetic: the same MPs who championed β€œsupporting local business” are now ghosted by the very locals they priced out. No pint. No parting. No mercy.

You know you’ve lost the plot when Linda from Scissors & Sass bans you before your own party does.

Maybe this is the grassroots revolution Britain really needs: a movement powered by stylists, publicans, and people who’ve had it with political mannequins who only show up for photo ops and free Prosecco.
