has been snubbed by Madame Tussauds, which has said it won't be making a waxwork of Britain's latest prime minister. The world-famous waxwork museum said that because it can take up to a year to create a figure, each one has to remain "popular and relevant" with the public for five to 10 years. News of the decision comes after Madame Tussauds unveiled its latest wax attraction - a Greggs sausage roll.

A major tourist attraction in London since the 19th century, Madame Tussauds has modelled most prime ministers, positioning them in front of a replica of the door to No.10 Downing Street. The last PM to feature was Boris Johnson, who according to the was first sculpted in wax in 2009 when he was the mayor of London.

A spokesperson for Madame Tussauds, explaining the decision not to include Sir Keir, said: "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 10 years."

No.10 told the Metro that the decision was a matter for Madame Tussauds and it wouldn't be commenting.

Sir Keir isn't the first PM not to feature. In 2008, the wax museum asked the public if the then-prime minister Gordon Brown deserved a waxwork. A staggering 83.8% of those who responded said no.

Britain has seen a succession of prime ministers come and go since David Cameron stepped down in the wake of the Brexit vote in 2016.

He was followed by Theresa May, who was PM for three years and 12 days. Mr Johnson was prime minister for three years 45 days before Liz Truss entered Downing Street.

She resigned in the wake of her mini-budget after 49 days - becoming Britain's shortest-serving prime minister.

Rishi Sunak followed Ms Truss, leading the country for one year and 255 days before Sir Keir won the keys to Downing Street at the General Election in July 2024.

Besides its museum in central London, Madame Tussauds has attractions in Blackpool and New York.

Late last month, the museum announced the return of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly's wax figures.

The Geordie duo, popularly known as Ant & Dec, sat for the revamp of their wax figures, which have been updated with a current, up-to-date look.
