Let he who is without wig pull the first hair...

Michael Fabricant

MICHAEL Fabricant is one of the most easily-recognisable MPs in the Commons.

Known for his good humour and his regular attendance in debates, he also stands out because of his bright blond hair.

Mr Fabricant, the Conservative MP for Lichfield, recently interrupted Labour MP Lindsay Hoyle during a discussion about ways of encouraging more people to get involved in politics.

He suggested becoming a politician had caused Mr Hoyle to age prematurely, shouting: "But look at your grey hair!"

Mr Hoyle (Chorley) replied: "At least I've got my own."

Whatever did he mean?
