To quite fancy Rory Stewart?

I mean, he’s definitely the hottest of the Tory leadership candidates isn’t he? Not a strong field obviously, but not being crazy is quite attractive. And I think he’s pretty convincing as ‘prime minister written for a Richard Curtis light comedy’. Also sexy doesn’t mind working in a war zone background. It’s just me, isn’t it?

Yes. It’s just you. Go & have a glass of water & lie down.

reefedsail · 26/05/2019 21:08

I had that same thought Chequers then had a stern word with myself!

Anniegetyourgun · 26/05/2019 21:09

Looking less freakish, and being less overtly unpleasant, than the other candidates in this particular contest is quite a low bar, to be fair. I'm not sure about the not being crazy thing - you'd kind of have to be, in order to want to run the party in its current state. It would be like herding cats.

I misread the title as Rod Stewart Confused

YellowSock · 26/05/2019 21:13

Misread as Rod... thought to myself... do you want his body? Do you think he's sexy?

Sarahlou63 · 26/05/2019 21:15

I think he's one of Mick Jagger's unknown offspring. His brain is very sexy!

VikingVolva · 26/05/2019 21:18

But was he a spy?

ChequersDog · 26/05/2019 21:18

Dunno if he was really a spy. That wouldn’t exactly put me off.

There’s definitely something attractive about him. He reminds me of Nate Ruess who is a proper sort.

megrichardson · 26/05/2019 21:19

I too misread the title as Rod Stewart.

Gth1234 · 26/05/2019 21:20

I read the thread as Rod Stewart.

I am not sure about Rory! :)

Quintella · 26/05/2019 21:23

Bloody hell. I'd barely recovered from the thread where someone admitted wanting to fuck Rees Mogg. And I'm pretty sure the OP wasn't Mrs Rees Mogg.

Rory Stewart looks like a little boy dressing up as a business man for a classmate's fancy dress party.

Having said that, personality wise he's one of the least offensive Tories.

MaxNormal · 26/05/2019 21:23

You're not the only one! He'd be great dinner party company with his actually genuinely fascinating background.

TrickyD · 26/05/2019 21:23

You are definitely right, Chequersdog He is wonderful! The most sensible, honourable and intelligent of them all. Mad looking but I love him.

Pa1oma · 26/05/2019 21:27

Here’s the full line up of gods and goddesses for your perusal OP!

I actually burst out laughing when this image came on the news - just glance between Stewart and Gove. The expressions! It’s like the Muppet Show.

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 26/05/2019 21:32

I don't fancy him at all, but I really enjoyed his book about walking across Afghanistan. I think you would enjoy it op!

I bet Brad Pitt is crossing his fingers that Rory becomes PM, it would make a great ending to the movie.

CocoDeMoll · 26/05/2019 21:33

Totally miss read that as Rod Stuart too Grin

AuntieStella · 26/05/2019 21:34

I never thought I'd write a phrase like this, but David Mellor is right

He said something along the lines of "when there's a big field entered in a race, and the bookies odds are all dire and all over the place,, it means all the runners are crap"

Queenunikitty · 26/05/2019 21:35

Sorry Raab is hotter.

Charley50 · 26/05/2019 21:36

I thought you meant Rod Stewart too. And I thought that his recent donations to the model railway enthusiasts, must have tipped you over the edge from like to lust.

PristineCondition · 26/05/2019 21:38

Ive reported this. Seek help pervert

ChequersDog · 26/05/2019 21:38

Grin Rod Stewart, even with the model railway donations, holds little attraction for me. But look at Rory’s funny face! He could be an amenable side character in the next Mary Poppins.

Yes, because Old Etonian Tories who look slightly like Gollum in tweeds and have a disgusting voting record on taxation and welfare are really niche.

ChequersDog · 26/05/2019 21:47

Yeah, well if I was judging on fair taxation voting records I’d be stuck with squinting at Richard Burgon and hoping he doesn’t open his mouth. Let’s not.

I used to have a soft spot for him, until I discovered that a friend of a friend had had a relationship with him and he was a totally chaotic and useless boyfriend.
