Madame Tussauds has revealed it will not be making a waxwork of Keir Starmer – as they can’t be sure he’ll be relevant for long enough.

Until recently, the popular London attraction made a model of almost every British Prime Minister and placed them beside a replica of the famous door to Number 10 Downing Street.

But after a rapid succession of leaders in the past few years, that tradition appears to have come to an end.

A spokesperson for Madame Tussauds told Metro: ‘We have no current plans to make a figure of the British Prime Minister.

‘As is the case with the world of modern celebrity, the political landscape is fast-moving and unpredictable, so we really have to consider our figure choices carefully.

‘It can take up to a year for us to create a figure – from initial measurements to the unveil on attraction floor – so we expect each one to remain popular and relevant with the public for five to ten years.’

Downing Street declined to comment, saying the decision is a ‘matter for Madame Tussauds’.

The last PM to grace the floor of the renowned Baker Street wax museum was Boris Johnson, who was first immortalised as a dummy in 2009 during his term as Mayor of London.

Before him, both Theresa May and David Cameron were honoured with their own smooth replicas.

There was a brief hiccup for the three-year term of Gordon Brown – in an extremely noughties reality-show-style twist, Madame Tussauds asked the public in 2008 to vote on whether he should get a waxwork before the next election. A crushing 83.8% said no.

Every other Prime Minister since the site opened in 1884 had been depicted. Even leaders of the opposition got a model until 2002, when Iain Duncan Smith was elected Conservative leader.
