Sir Keir Starmer is being mocked for his strange pose on the cover of Labour’s annual conference programme.

The political party’s annual conference is taking place in Liverpool on 8 - 11 October 2023 and brochures have been released ahead of time to promote the event.

Pictures of the programme shared on X/Twitter have got people talking, as they feature a large picture of the Labour leader Starmer on the front cover.

Starmer is pictured in a side profile against a grey background, prompting some severe mockery poking fun at his perceived reputation for having “no personality”.

Others pointed out that it resembles an album cover for a musician more than a conference programme.

One person on X/Twitter mocked: “‘Keir Starmer, former session musician with The Moody Blues, announces his debut solo album, Annual Conference. A melange of soft rock, mellow jazz and blue eyed soul, this has been given 5 stars in Q Magazine’.”

Another wrote: “Cult of no personality.”

Someone else added: “Keir Starmer: “For the Me, not the You.”

“This is objectively hilarious. Imagine the meeting to discuss the various design options,” wrote another.

One person joked: “If you’ve always wanted a soft focus portrait of Keir Starmer for your wall, you’re in luck with the #lab23 conference programme.”

“Labour drops its new conference brochure/Keir Starmer greatest hits album cover,” wrote a Tory Twitter account.

According to Labour’s website, the annual conference will host “inspiring speeches, invaluable training and an events timetable that makes the most of every minute, it’s a real opportunity to be a part of democracy in action”.
