No. He's got really horrible staring eyes.

Exactly that!
Dead, psycho eyes. Blair has them too.

KierStarmer4Lyfe · 03/05/2025 04:17

AGREED!
Have to say this is my favourite image of him... Those eyes!

Can we just stop for a minute and consider how we would all feel about a thread on Pistonheads or similar analysing the appearance of a female MP? (or any other female public figure for that matter).

Come on, we struggle hard enough against objectification/everyday sexism as it is, might be an idea to practice what we preach?

He looks gorgeous in that photo, I agree OP

Mumsn0t · 07/06/2020 20:55

Nope. Looks sleazy and smarmy, like he'd sell his own grandmother.

Mind you, maybe it's because I think he's utterly untrustworthy and completely New Labour. Definitely not 'Labour' Labour as evidenced by the shameless way he took a knighthood. 'Sir' Keir Starmer can fuck right off.

Because I have such a strong dislike of him, I don't think I could ever see him as attractive, past or present.

Excuse me, I have to run and throw up.

BGD2012 · 05/06/2020 22:48

He is a bit baby faced when younger but has aged well.

lockeddownandcrazy · 05/06/2020 16:44

Too smooth for my tastes. Better as he has aged but still more Roger Moore than Sean Connery

Claliscool · 05/06/2020 11:08

He's an absolute hottie.

GAVEL.

pinktaxi · 05/06/2020 11:00

No. He's got really horrible staring eyes.

IntermittentParps · 05/06/2020 10:16

Sorry, that's slightly beside the main point I suppose.

IntermittentParps · 05/06/2020 10:16

My dad went to Oxford and he grew up sharing a three-bedroom Glasgow tenement with four siblings, mum, dad, auntie and uncle and granny and granddad. Those were the days when bright kids with no money had a hope of a good education and career.

Hi Keir 👋

Jesus. Imagine if a man said that about a female MP Confused

so, we've pretty comprehensively demolished Fizzy's claim that he's a posh boy then Grin

BGD2012 my parents definitely couldn't have paid fees for my school after it became private! Same went for several girls in my year. Fortunately they didn't have to as we retained our fully funded Direct Grant free places.

reasonsforwaiting · 05/06/2020 09:42

Apologies: Direct Grant funding ended in 1976, not 1974. Withdrawn by a Labour govt in 1974. Schools receiving it could either become state funded comprehensives or independents; most became independent, fee paying private schools.

BGD2012 · 05/06/2020 09:37

It would seem unfair to kick kids out who had spent several academic years there after passing the 11 plus. Not many of us could suddenly afford the equivalent of £20,000 per annum.

Regarding was Keir Starmer state or privately educated?
I'm about his age and went to a Direct Grant school in the early 70s - that is, a private secondary school with direct state funding for 2/3 of its pupils who passed it's (tough) entrance exams. Those pupils were given a free place for their 7 years of secondary schooling. Keir will have had one of these places.

The Direct Grant funds ended around 1974, and these private schools returned to fully fee paying, but the Direct Grant pupils didn't pay fees.

Hope this clears up the free state school place vs fee paying private school place discussion.

Not my cup of tea but I see him as an ageing 80s pop star...a bit ‘Tony Hadley’ Grin
