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?

Yes, I get it !

I developed a massive crush on him after seeing tiktoks of him dragging Post Office and Amazon bosses across the coals - he was utterly ruthless and I was quite turned on 😳. He looks harmless but he is certainly nothing of the sort. He also claimed to be from a very working class, raised in a council flat background.

I have since come to realise that I don't agree with many things he is saying and I was probably just hormonal. Sorry for the TMI folks.

Ooo now he is fanciable!

I had a weird crush on Michael Portillo too! He’s repulsive in a very sexy way. I imagine Jilly Cooper often had him in her thoughts while writing her steamy novels.

NB I’m definitely not a Tory!

He kind of looks like Heinrich Himmler and actor Daniel Mays had a kid. I am on strong painkillers atm so it could be that.

Not sure I could ever fancy anyone called Darren/Daz or Garry/Gaz. In the (similar) words of Harry Burns:

"A Darren can open a bank account for you, if you need a new computer from Curry's, Darren's your man... but humpin' and pumpin' is not Darren's strong suit. It's the name. 'Do it to me Darren, you're an animal Darren, ride me big Darr-en.' Doesn't work".

My husband is called Darren.. it's a truly ghastly name. My mother was (probably still is) horrified by it. For a good few years, she called him David. My students also asked me why I often talk about my son, and never mention my husband... 😁

My MP crush is Nick Clegg. LOVE him!

Which Bush? I quite fancy Sr too, and Jimmy Carter was adorable.

Sr - wasn’t keen on the son

Woody617 · 03/09/2025 21:25

He’s the one who lied on Question Time. That makes him an extremely undesirable individual in my mind.

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

Not Starmer though 🤮

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.

Well look on the bright side at least it wasn’t Michael Portillo!

You can have him. In fact, could you keep him tied to your bedposts for the next couple of years, so he stays off my tv screen? Do what you want to him in the meantime.

I’ve got a thing for Nigel Farage so I’m probably not qualified to comment

Marylou2 · 03/09/2025 20:35

You're joking OP?

I just Googled him.

Grim.

Looks like he'd have weird balls.

What a horrible comment.

BIossomtoes · 03/09/2025 20:28

He’s got a beautiful impish smile. He looks like a lot of fun.

scorpiogirly · 03/09/2025 20:24

No. And he's a twat to boot.

FlayOtters · 03/09/2025 20:12

Does it help or make it worse if I say I've met him a few times through work and he's such a nice guy! In fact we were just discussing the other day what a good PM he'd be as so personable and really pretty honest.

GrealishGoddess · 03/09/2025 18:44

He sounds tedious. “Although sometimes I…”

Jones became a vegan in 2014, for reasons related to carbon emissions and agriculture, although he is sometimes vegetarian.

flightissue · 03/09/2025 18:31

He’s a weasel that said anything to get elected including attending a popular local private school and saying he didn’t support the abolition of private schools. Which he clearly does support.

And the one who claimed most illegal migrants arriving on boats are women and children?

Show quote history

I remember him saying that on Question Time.
He's a bold one but you couldn't trust him as far as you could throw him.

CaroleLandis · 03/09/2025 18:09

He’s a Lefty with dirty teeth, so it’s a massive no from me. His wife was a ‘net zero consultant’, - utterly grim the pair of them.
