Who should win the Tory leadership contest based on sheer good looks?

The obvious candidate is Jacob Rees-Mogg but since I suspect he's unlikely to stand, who else should I have my eye on?

Bring back Zac Goldsmith. Or Jonny Mercer.

@gryilla
Jacob Rees Mogg 😮
I think you need to go to Specsavers.

longwayoff · 08/07/2022 18:25

I've just seen the line up on TV news. All I could think was that Angela Rayner wasn't far wrong.

namechangeanonymous · 08/07/2022 18:29

I wouldn't kick hunt out of bed to be honest.

BeBraveLittlePenguin · 08/07/2022 18:59

Danny Kruger is quite saucy, evangelical Christianity and odd ideas on bodily autonomy aside. Although he was an absolute dope fiend at university allegedly, so that side may still be lurking.
Wallace and Mercer, obvs.

There was one point 18 months ago when I would have said Matt Hancock

Pre turtleneck? Was that in the parkour years?

Quite possibly

longwayoff · 08/07/2022 19:11

Dominic bloody Raab? women of MN what are you thinking? Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong etc. Repeat till you stop thinking of him. Shudder.

Are you quite well, OP? He looks like a barely animated corpse.

I have met Jeremy Hunt. He’s surprisingly tall, in good shape, has a lovely smile and he is very conventionally handsome. He also comes across as a decent person.

namechangeanonymous · 08/07/2022 19:29

Oh I didn't think of Sajid Javid.
Call it pregnancy hormones but could I have javid hunt and sunak all together please. Thanks.

LaQuern · 08/07/2022 19:31

@Snoopsnoggysnog I knew it!!!

I'm such a good judge of character

HelloFriendR · 08/07/2022 19:40

I used to fancy Portillo when he was younger. Out of the current lot has to be Sunak or Rabb, i also have to confess I had to Google some of these names, I was not dissapointed with the image results for James Mercer.

jaundicedoutlook · 08/07/2022 19:57

Javid has an oddly shaped head which puts me in mind of a freshly shaved testicle.

Sunak is just too too short - like a little homunculus.

Baker looks as odd as he clearly is. This morning he was on BBC news talking about ‘seizing power’ and apparently he keeps his mobile phone in the microwave to deter eavesdroppers.

Hunt nice but dull. I also like the startled llama image.

As for Patel, the Rwanda capybara - just no.

There isn't one yet. Candidates have until Mon evening. There will be a fair few more than the 3 so far announced

NippyWoowoo · 08/07/2022 21:15

Gavin Williamson with his mouth closed.

Is he still an MP?

longwayoff · 08/07/2022 21:48

Thanks Eltons I wasn't giving it my full attention I admit, there were a dozen or so lined up on BBCnews. Each as appealing as the next one.

CPL593H · 08/07/2022 18:21

I think I'll wait until they've all declared, in the hope of something better emerging. Oh, OK, if we have to, Sajid Javid, strong pleasant face and a nice smile.

TBH, if he was standing I wouldn't care if Rory Stewart had 6 heads and dripped green slime as he walked, he is miles above any of them.

Yes! Rory, if you or anyone you know can see this, please come and save us!

Dreamy!

I wonder how many MPs are single...

To be fair, I don’t think their marital status would make much difference to your chances with most of these sleazemongers

TawnyPippit · 08/07/2022 23:40

In our house we always reckon Sajid Javid looks like a Sontaran from Dr Who.

Troopod · 08/07/2022 23:55

Purely off looks, Luke Evans, random backbencher so he won't be running though.

Arenanewbie · 09/07/2022 00:37

@AffIt
Well Gove has moves but the look is not there. I would rather choose Jeremy Hunt for a dance, Tom Tugendhat for a walk in the woods and Ben Wallace for a family barbeque.
However if you think of dealing with Russia Liz Truss has the best possible look.

balalake · 09/07/2022 06:39

@gryilla there is one MP who will be single no doubt in a few years, Boris Johnson.

Snog · 09/07/2022 06:55

Hadn't realised that Rishi is 5 ft 6
