Hair! Hair!
Some luxuriant facial hair on show in today's Queen's Speech debate in the Commons. Labour MPs and were sporting impressive moustaches.
My spies tell me this is not some outbreak of retro-Victorian grooming, but a sponsored growth in aid of Movember, the annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men's health issues, specifically prostate cancer.
The MPs have become "Mo Bros", who, start Movember (1 November) clean shaven and then grow, groom and nurture their moustaches. The aim is to raise funds and awareness for . At the end of Movember, a series of Gala Partés (sic) are held to thank Mo Bros and Sistas for their support and fund raising efforts.
I wonder if the parliamentary moustaches will disappear then....
Or will they have started a fashion?
I'm Mark D'Arcy and I'll be writing about what goes on in the chambers and committee rooms at Westminster.
