To think Keir Starmer is attractive

I might be on my own but I think there's something about him. I also fancy Dom Raab, so it's not a political attraction!

I really think we are far from alone. Trouble is, even if he could be persuaded to stand, I think a lot of career politicians (of any party) would be threatened by real intelligence and substance.

(Love the subversive Rory talk under the radar on a thread like this!)

Raab's wife is lucky indeed.

I think he looks like a piece of meat and a piece of pink plastic that have been fused together.

If I was thirty years younger I'd really fancy Dominic Raab He has lovely eyes, fit , smooth skin.
I'm told old for him , but then they all are too young for me these days !! 😂
Keir does nothing for me at all.

Awww x Raab's wife is very lucky.

He's absolutely minging.

Look, Keir Country.

But then, all Scottish blokes looked like this in the 80s. Something to do with the steelworks closing probably.

Yes, and this is Keir Country in the 90s……

Total lifelong leftie but yes. Sadly I think he is too honest and free thinking for party politics.

It's Boris that does it for me, there is just something charismatic about him.

Oh dear… it does seem like he has some sort of irrresistible magnetism though… must have to be seen to be believed. Boring world if we were all the same!

TartanGirl1 · 28/07/2022 17:58

Yes you are 😝

But then I also found Dominic Cummings strangely attractive so appreciate there may be something wrong with me 😅

Hate to say it as I'm no Tory, but I agree with you! Definitely based on personality and passion for life though. There's something honest about him that is so rare in politicians. Think he'd be really interesting to have dinner with.

His personality is too off-putting. He's also snide and somewhat patronising.

Starmer has a head like a lump of gammon, same as Cameron did. Sorry.

That's interesting given that David Cameron🤔 did that weird initiation frat club thing with a pigs head.

He looks like Max Headroom and his voice is awful. Get where you're coming from re: Dom Raab though

I was just about to post this! Max Headroom scared the shit out of me as a kid, so he has sort of removed the fear by being boring and well mannered.

Raab always looks like he's struggling to follow the argument to me. Just found this and, no, this look on men does absolutely nothing for me. My mid-20s daughter does, however, say "I fancy him. Sorry" whenever he's on tv.

I think Starmer looks better when he's relaxed. I imagine being LOTO at the moment isn't a very relaxing job.

Raab boxed for the same team as my husband. Unsurprisingly, as an Oxford graduate he does come across as quite clever in real life. We’ve no idea how he manages to give such a different impression on television.

I am a massive veggie liberal tree-hugging leftie, but I have a bit of a crush on Rory Stewart, which I am baffled by.

That is just depraved Grin

Keir OK, better than most but the only politician I've ever thought had an objective "wow" factor was Che Guevara, so I'm not the best judge.
