I now fancy an MP

For some reason the last couple of days, I have started to develop a crush on the MP Darren Jones. He is looks wise my type, I think it's the glasses and being tall that probably is the reason why.

Am I crazy, I bet loads of people will tell me that I am?

'Grim' is a strong word to describe a very normal-looking man. He's hardly Michael Fabricant.

Morning,

Ah, I meant grim in multiple different ways.

Hey ho, just my opinion!

Unless it's Julian off Ghosts then YABU Wink Grin

He went to the same school as my DH

People have different tastes, nothing wrong with that. Just keep the OP away from looking at some of the politicians in the French National Assembly!!

kezzykate · 04/09/2025 06:57

i know nothing about him but just googled and he is totally my type too.

This is by far the best thread in a long time, well done OP.

Anyway, YANBU, I get it.

My politician of choice was always former Labour MP Tristram Hunt 😍

Now this I get!

Dogaredabomb · 03/09/2025 21:18

I mean, he's alright but he's just Mr Normal 🤷🏼‍♂️

I, the other hand, have fancied both Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer. Also George W Bush. I'm flighty though.

Bill Clinton in his hey day 👌😂

meeleymanatee · 04/09/2025 06:50

Ugh he definitely looks like he’d be insufferable pompous moob.

watch the video of him arguing with reform during his ‘the majority of people in small boats’ argument will give you the ick. We cannot argue the merits of immigration over lies

InterestedDad37 · 04/09/2025 06:24

He looks like a cartoon character 😀

Bit like David Wallace from the US Office.

David Wallace was so dreamy

Crazy

He looks like my former gynecologist.

I fancied Boris at one point - and George bush believe it or not.

Not Starmer though 🤮

Show quote history

yep. I’ve always fancied Boris - it’s the exuberance, I think. The only other Mp I was weirdly attracted to was John Major. Can’t explain that one.

leahnejade · 03/09/2025 22:48

I answered the door recently to my local Labour MP.
(Not Darren Jones, but quite young & better looking!).
So he stood there on his own in a rumpled shirt looking actually very fit. I gave him my email address for his newsletter and he smiled pleasantly. The woman across the square was very rude to him and he handled it very politely. I hope he will call round again. (Yes, unfortunately he is married lol).

Seriously though, he’s only been our MP for a year and he’s a local who’s already done a lot for our community. We never saw our old MP.

AliceMaforethought · 03/09/2025 22:29

He looks kind and approachable. I wouldn't say I fancy him, but YANBU.

thingsineverthoughtidsay · 03/09/2025 22:22

I agree OP! I’ve had my eye on him for quite a while.

gellolatte · 03/09/2025 22:22

Ewww he has a tortoise neck

JambonetFromage · 03/09/2025 22:22

I also have a crush on Darren Jones - he seems clever principled, somewhat self-effacing and affable. But also quite ferocious as chair of the business select committee. Also rather cute.

Delighted to hear that people who have met him report he is a nice guy.

SeaBreezeDewberryMusk · 03/09/2025 22:21

Eww 😷 Have you got your beer goggles on?!

NigelFaragesFakeRoarofLaughter · 03/09/2025 22:12

LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway · 03/09/2025 17:59

Hmmm, he's OK. Nice friendly face. Smile I don't fancy him though. So he's all yours @readyer

THIS hunk of a man is more my type. 😍

Sod off you lot, he's MINE! MINE I tellz ya! 😆

So nice to find someone who appreciates me!

With a photo, too! Grin

Plmnki · 03/09/2025 22:09

Yuk sorry. He looked like a failed extra from The Thick of It. But whatever floats your boat :)

Mercurial123 · 03/09/2025 17:02

YABU though I worked with someone who had a crush on Ian Duncan Smith, which is not normal.

That's just weird.

LakieLady · 03/09/2025 22:05

Clive Lewis for me. He's very good looking IRL, and he has a nice voice.

He spoke at an event I was at and he sat next to me in the pub afterwards. Positively gave me fanny gallops.
