My choice would be Adam Price.

Oh dear God, Geoffrey Cox. Mellifluous. I’d totally put out.

Sturgeon.
Followed by Corbyn or Jonathan Bartley.

I heard Michael Heseltine on the radio this morning and got a bit fluttery. I felt like I had turned the wireless on in 1947. I have a soft spot for Nicholas Soames as well.

God, I have a thing for Europhile Tory grandee poshos...I blame Jilly Cooper novels.

“ God, I have a thing for Europhile Tory grandee poshos...I blame Jilly Cooper novels.”
Grin I agree about Heseltine!

Ooh Geoffrey Cox! I forgot about him. Those rrrrrrrrolling measured RP tones.

Anyone from Scotland or Northern Ireland - my favourite accents!

Sturgeon. In terms of the authority of her voice and her obvious grasp of detail, she is miles ahead of the rest.

The worst voice is definitely Michael Gove’s. He sounds like an obnoxious, ingratiating supercilious little nerd who deserves a good kicking.

Not sure about voice but I would vote for Andy Burnham's eyes

Is it ok to vote for Sean Bean?

No cos he will die before the third act

Yes poshos - Ken Clarke is good .
Statesmanlike. or Stateswomanlike. Used to be a flattering term but now people gabble in their attempt to get soooooo much of their bollox views out. But I find I can switch off as it's too much effort to follow.

BertrandRussell · 27/11/2019 13:37

Now, I’m so posh I don’t think of Ken Clarke as a posho! But he is probably my favourite Tory. I used to work for him about 100 years ago.

I always think Andrea Leadsom has a lovely speaking voice, and I'll generally listen if she's on the telly or radio. Shame I can't bloody abide her
