Prime Minister Boris Johnson was given tips on looking smart while visiting veterans living near Salisbury.
After chatting with Paul O’Rourke through the window of his room, the Conservative Party leader started to walk away – only to be told: “You’ve got dandruff.”
The Prime Minister laughed off the comment as he brushed his jacket.
He replied: “I’ve got to watch out for that, thank you.”
Speaking to journalists afterwards, the veteran said: “Someone had to say something.”
Mr Johnson was visiting Entrain Space veterans campus in Wilton, before moving on to the Christmas markets in the centre of town.
Earlier, he issued a stinging criticism of Jeremy Corbyn’s security record by accusing him of siding with “our enemies” as world leaders arrived in the UK for a two-day Nato summit.
Mr Johnson is set to issue an appeal for Nato unity amid increasing strains within the Western alliance over the conflict in Syria.
Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
