Robert Peston

Yes, I think he is dreadfully scruffy. I watched him on the news late evening when. he was presenting an article, looked like he had been dragged through a hedge backwards!

Saw him at lunch time.
His hair looks decidedly greyer. Has he stopped dyeing it, or was it just the sunshine?

What's more to the point is that he's been uncritically 'reporting' the government's lies 'view' for at least the last three years but is now being critical. A bit late in the day, really.

To be fair I wouldn’t agree with you on that MaizieD, I’ve always thought he had a knife to stick in.

He is scruffy, but he’s a male journalist, so it’s par for the course. I don’t think he dyes his hair though, he’s been greying for years.

He's just been on the news again commenting on Sunak and Javid resigning from the Cabinet, different jacket tonight in a nice shade of blue, nevertheless it was still far too big but his shirt was at least clean.

Maybe he wears his big brothers cast offs?

I wish he could sit up straight in a chair instead of lolling like Kevin the Teenager.

I can’t bear the way he speaks. Drawling one minute then suddenly speeding up.

He has said not, it's one of those urban myths that goes around.

I thought he'd looked a bit tidier lately

Ah, okey dokey, I stand corrected

I only have his word for it on Twitter ?

Robert Peston lost an awful lot of weight when his wife died. He never seems to have picked up since. Maybe that's why his clothes don't fit.
He took her death very badly I remember.

But he’s in another relationship now, I think, has been for some time.

Good to hear RP may have found new happiness in his life.

Does anyone else think that Robert Peston is a scruffy individual? I don't doubt his political knowledge but I do wish he would tidy himself up.

Why? Perhaps we should all wear Chairman Mao suits and have a standard bowl haircut.

What would improve if everyone worked to your idea of how to dress? Today I met a lovely woman covered in tattoos and piercings, who spends her day helping people worried that their benefits will be stopped or that they don't understand official forms. Her calm, confident manner, obvious knowledge, and box of tissues calmed the distressed, elderly lady I had taken to see her. She does this every day.

Books and covers come to mind.
