To wish Sir Keir and his wife would not hold hands when working

They've arrived in Washington DC on official business clutching hands like the Macrons, the Obamas and the Sussexes.

AiBU to find it a bit cringey?

And before anyone asks, yes I do have bigger things to worry about but I fancy a chat.

No I don’t find it cringey at all, looks like a strong partnership. It isn’t work for KS’s wife.

I think it's lovely and sets a good example particularly to men.

I think it's weird that the partners go at all. But I don't care about the holding hands. They probably do it to show the country that mummy and daddy are solidly together unlike the last lot, infantilising which frankly we need a bit of.

YABU this is a you problem not a them problem. It’s your hang up.

I find it nice too.

I seem to remember that the Camerons did the same thing. It's not as if they were slobbering over each other.

Why are the partners there? It’s always struck me as unnecessary.

I find it nice. Not at all cringey.

When Trump held Theresa May’s hand that was proper cringey.
