Well, in my opinion, he is the artist formally known as Tristram Hunt.
Interestingly enough, when Tristram Hunt was an MP, he was tipped to be Labour leader, then shockingly he stood down to apparently take the top job at the V&A.

Who is Tristram Hunt? Meet the potential next Labour leader
10 May 2015
Tristram Hunt is a historian and journalist, who has been shadow education secretary since 2013 - but could he be the next Labour leader?
The Labour party needs to find a new leader to lead them out of the chaos brought on by their election defeat.
Tristram Hunt is one of the more familiar names on the list of candidates for Labour's top job.
He's a 40-year-old historian, author and broadcaster, who served as shadow education secretary under Ed Miliband - but could he fill his old boss' shoes?
Here's everything you need to know about Tristram Hunt.
He's the son of a baron and a noted historian
Hunt is the son of Julian Hunt, Baron Hunt of Chesterton, who was made a life peer by Tony Blair in 2000.
He studied history at Trinity College, Cambridge, before becoming an associate fellow of the Centre for History and Economics at King's College, Cambridge.
He also completed a PhD at Cambridge on Civic Thought in Britiain in the 19th century.
He went on to become a noted historian, specialising in Urban history - particularly in the Victorian era.
He's written several books on the subject, as well as a biography of left-wing philosopher Friedrich Engels.
He's been shadow education secretary since 2013
A little look at wiki, and we see something rather interesting. Remember, Ed Miliband, AKA current PM Rishi Sunak.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristram_Hunt
Hunt was appointed a Shadow Education Minister in April 2013, replacing Karen Buck who advanced as Parliamentary Private Secretary to Ed Miliband. On 7 October 2013, Hunt was promoted to the Shadow Cabinet, replacing Stephen Twigg as Shadow Secretary of State for Education.
In February 2014, Hunt crossed an authorised University and College Union picket line at Queen Mary University of London to teach his students about "Marx, Engels and the Making of Marxism", defending himself on the grounds that although he was not a member of the union, he supported the right to strike and picket by those who had been ballotted. He was strongly criticised by West Bromwich East MP Tom Watson, who described Hunt's behaviour as "preposterous".
Hunt was re-elected in May 2015 with a majority of 5,179. On 12 September 2015, it became known he was leaving the shadow cabinet following Jeremy Corbyn's election as Labour leader because of their "substantial political differences", as Hunt told the Press Association.
On 13 January 2017, he announced that he would be resigning as an MP in order to take up the post of Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He formally resigned, taking the post of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds, on 23 January 2017. His successor as MP, Gareth Snell, retained the seat for Labour in the subsequent by-election on 23 February 2017.
I wonder if it was that 'Marx, Engels and the Making of Marxism' lecture that burned that identity? ...So let's look at Starmer, because he came out of nowhere, well actually, the name was associated with Director of Public Prosecutions, but when did we first see his face?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer
...In February 2010, Starmer announced the CPS's decision to prosecute three Labour MPs and a Conservative peer for offences relating to false accounting in the aftermath of the parliamentary expenses scandal. They were all found guilty. In the same year, he supported proposals to legally recognise different degrees of murder. In 2010, and 2012, Starmer said that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute two members of the UK security services for their alleged role in torture overseas; he supported further investigation. In July 2010, Starmer announced the decision not to prosecute the police officer Simon Harwood in relation to the death of Ian Tomlinson; this led to accusations by Tomlinson's family of a police cover-up. After a subsequent inquest found that Tomlinson had been unlawfully killed, Starmer announced that Harwood would be prosecuted for manslaughter. The officer was acquitted by a jury in July 2012 but dismissed from the police that September. In December 2010, Starmer changed the decision process, including requiring his personal approval, to prosecute women who withdraw accusations of rape after a woman was convicted for perverting the course of justice "despite judges' belief that her claim of long-term abuse, intimidation and rape at the hands of her husband was true". He later produced guidelines to prevent women in similar circumstances from being unfairly prosecuted...
For no apparent reason, I have a big section about Ian Tomlinson in the Anyone know any ex-truthers? thread. Who knew the case had anything to do with Sir Keir.
My favourite finds in that thread...the Ian Tomlinson mask. Note how the neck skin is over the top of the police issue blue top and white t-shirt, and the fake plastic eyes. And also George Monbiot...it's worth a look for George Monbiot alone.
Is that a man or a woman?
Things I can tell you about Tristram Hunt. He wears contact lenses to change the colour of his eyes, and those teeth look like overlays to me.
The second image, the skin between the nostrils is an appliance, the tell is its slightly lighter colour than the skin it attaches to. We can see it bends around the nostrils. Hunt therefore has a hanging part to his nose where as Starmer's is rather flat. We can also see the outer edge of the contact lenses on the second shot. I wonder if any extra hair has been added to the eyebrows.
I think this is a good one that shows the fakeness at the front of Starmer's face. His eyes look so deep-set because of the appliance covering his forehead, nose and cheeks. I don't know if it goes all the way down, but it's apparent around the eye area.
So just to finish off, Starmer stood for election in 2015, that would be the same year as Jo Cox and Rishi Sunak...all ready for the 2016 EU Referendum. And I note on Sunak's wiki it says, "Sunak supported the successful campaign for the UK to leave the European Union in the June 2016 European Union membership referendum." - So it's just like placing a spread bet in horse racing, they cover all eventualities; and horse racing is the sport of kings, isn't it.
Continuing from Starmer's wiki page, he took over Frank Dobson's old seat, Dobson being Secretary of State for Health in Tony Blair's government. See how it works? How many seats does one need to control the country and force vaccine mandates on Care Home staff and NHS workers?
Starmer was selected in December 2014 to be the Labour Party's prospective parliamentary candidate for the Labour UK constituency of Holborn and St Pancras, a safe seat, following the decision of the sitting MP Frank Dobson to retire. Starmer was elected at the 2015 UK general election with a majority of 17,048. He was urged by a number of activists to stand in the 2015 Labour Party leadership election following the resignation of Ed Miliband; he ruled this out, citing his relative lack of political experience. During the campaign, Starmer supported Andy Burnham, who finished second to Jeremy Corbyn, the new Leader of the Labour Party.
Corbyn appointed Starmer to the Shadow Home Secretary's ministerial team as Shadow Minister for Immigration, a role from which he resigned as part of the widespread June 2016 British shadow cabinet resignations in protest at Corbyn's leadership; in his resignation letter he wrote that it was "simply untenable now to suggest we can offer an effective opposition without a change of leader".
Corbyn, as I've noted earlier in this thread was always controlled opposition. My feeling, the point of electing him was he had a pro-Brexit background, though he never seemed as staunch as his voting record suggested. He was there to hook the Lexit people with "Yes we should leave, but now is not the right time." - and that fed in to the whole Paul Mason tact, and who got very anti-Brexit as the vote loomed.

The leftwing case for Brexit (one day) - Paul Mason
Mon 16 May 2016
There are many good reasons for the UK to leave the EU. But exiting now would allow Johnson and Gove to turn Britain into a neoliberal fantasy island
The leftwing case for Brexit is strategic and clear. The EU is not – and cannot become – a democracy. Instead, it provides the most hospitable ecosystem in the developed world for rentier monopoly corporations, tax-dodging elites and organised crime. It has an executive so powerful it could crush the leftwing government of Greece; a legislature so weak that it cannot effectively determine laws or control its own civil service. A judiciary that, in the Laval and Viking judgments, subordinated workers’ right to strike to an employer’s right do business freely.
Its central bank is committed, by treaty, to favour deflation and stagnation over growth. State aid to stricken industries is prohibited. The austerity we deride in Britain as a political choice is, in fact, written into the EU treaty as a non-negotiable obligation. So are the economic principles of the Thatcher era. A Corbyn-led Labour government would have to implement its manifesto in defiance of EU law.
And the situation is getting worse. Europe’s leaders still do not know whether they will let Greece go bankrupt in June; they still have no workable plan to distribute the refugees Germany accepted last summer, and having signed a morally bankrupt deal with Turkey to return the refugees, there is now the prospect of that deal’s collapse. That means, if the reported demand by an unnamed Belgian minister to “push back or sink” migrant boats in the Aegean is activated, the hands of every citizen of the EU will be metaphorically on the tiller of the ship that does it. You may argue that Britain treats migrants just as badly. The difference is that in Britain I can replace the government, whereas in the EU, I cannot. That’s the principled leftwing case for Brexit.
Now here’s the practical reason to ignore it. In two words: Boris Johnson. The conservative right could have conducted the leave campaign on the issues of democracy, rule of law and UK sovereignty, leaving the economics to the outcome of a subsequent election. Instead, Johnson and the Tory right are seeking a mandate via the referendum for a return to full-blown Thatcherism: less employment regulation, lower wages, fewer constraints on business. If Britain votes Brexit, then Johnson and Gove stand ready to seize control of the Tory party and turn Britain into a neoliberal fantasy island...
"I CAN REPLACE THE GOVERNMENT"...Too funny. Yes, we can vote in a party led by a Fabian with a Rishi Sunak mask, or we can vote in a party led by a Fabian with a Keir Starmer mask...either way, what we are actually getting is what we've had since 1997, and that is TONY BLAIR.
And proof of this, what actually happened? Boris Johnson is Ed Miliband's bum-chum, and the ex-Labour leader Ed Miliband became Conservative Prime Minister. And Paul Mason is another puppet-face MARXIST with a pretend wife working for the NHS, just like Keir Starmer. Got to get those NHS vaccine mandates into law, I'm sure SIr Keir will try again for Tony's compulsory ID CARD system.
