I'd seen photos before and he had my passing interest, but it wasn't until I saw him being interviewed whilst out on the campaign trail the other day. He has a very definite... presence. A gravitas if you will. I could write him poetry, but you'll thank me if I don't!

I am aware btw that a comparison to Billy Flynn does not constitute unmitigated praise for any lawyer.

namechange20050 · 02/06/2017 17:23

He'll be the next labour leader, mark my words!

Lottapianos · 02/06/2017 17:23

Good photo Cormorant. Strong work

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 02/06/2017 17:24

I'm a solicitor and I admire his competence but can't get over the description of him by one parliamentary speechwriter as sitting beside Jeremy Cornyn and looking like a "disappointed knee cap" 😂

Auldspinster · 02/06/2017 17:24

Had a certain appreciation of him since he was DPP.

DanyellasDonkey · 02/06/2017 17:24

Very cool name, but am beginning to go off him if he's short Sad

EpoxyResin · 02/06/2017 17:27

...how short are we talking here? I can wear flats?

Ahem. To raise this tone...
He commissioned this brave report:
False rape allegations very rare
He's very impressive!

Ihatenicknames · 02/06/2017 17:30

He is vertically challenged.

EpoxyResin · 02/06/2017 17:30

^^YES KEIR!

I've asked a friend of mine who is a well known Labour campaigner exactly how titchy KS is.

Always been impressed with Keir Starmer - capable, strong, intelligent. I like his politics and think he would be excellent at negotiating the madness that Brexit will be.

I agree that Justin Trudeau and Macron could get me very interested in international politics Wink very gorgeous - and great politics.

FirstShinyRobe · 02/06/2017 18:16

As DPP he was awesome, especially around rape myths and consent.

KarlosKKrinkelbeim · 02/06/2017 18:17

Dh has met him in a professional capacity and remarked on his shortness. I asked how short (dh is 6 foot four so most people are short compared to him) and he said "as short as you" (thanks mate). I am five six.

SurferRona · 02/06/2017 18:23

Are you sure Karlos and Ihate? I saw him give a talk last year -ish at a lit festival and he seemed tall to me. A child cried backstage and he got a faraway look and paused for a bit as he listened as he thought it was his youngestGrin. I like him a lot.

NotYoda · 02/06/2017 18:25

Surfer

Aww I love that. He could, of course been thinking 'Someone shut that bleedin' kid up" but I prefer to go with your image

Bloomed · 02/06/2017 18:31

I think he's got great presence. Would be a good PM.

sharontargaryen · 02/06/2017 18:31

He looks like Max Headroom.

GetAHaircutCarl · 02/06/2017 18:36

I love him loads.

But fuck me that hair. He's like Cameron Diaz in that Mary film.

ohgoshIdontknow · 02/06/2017 18:41

Ugh I can't bear him!

Surprised he's short though - I'd assumed he was tall.

Ugh

EpoxyResin · 02/06/2017 18:46

He looks as tall as Owen Jones in ?

EpoxyResin · 02/06/2017 18:48

...feel like I'm doing his intelligence a disservice by being waylaid by the height thing. I'm not even fussed about his height, I guess I'm just curious about it now!

The80sweregreat · 02/06/2017 18:52

He is lush, has the x factor. Not normally my type either.
