Priti Patel looks amazing for 47

[Ashtower]

Just that really. I vehemently disagree with her on a number of issues but would love to know her skincare regime!

[willothewispa]

Inhumane and limited in that order.

Spot on. I read some posts on here at times and wonder if she's a MNer.

Can people stop saying 'deep peel', its revolting. Only one poster has said that! Apart from you!

She eats babies for breakfast every day.

Also, supercilious smirking doesn’t cause wrinkles in the same way as genuine smiles and laughter do.

She’s a nasty wench.

Should we not be judging her on policy and ability?

She can't be a 14 unless she has a particularly tiny head. And this will be with industrial strength Spanx.

“48, 51 53 ”Really? She doesn’t really have any wrinkles!

Nor do quite a few people I know of that age. I'm married to one of them.

[MangoFeverDream]

in what way is she "fat"

It’s only meant as an explanation for why she looks young. Having a fatter face is youthful; why do you think actresses all get fillers? (Also, she doesn’t look all that fat in photos, but she’s short so 🤷‍♀️)

[LoafEater]

that would be her deal with the devil

[PhilCornwall1]

I do reckon she sits in front of the mirror to practice the constant smug look on her face though.

[Angelw]

She really doesn’t look younger than her age, just asked 3 colleagues to guess her age and these were the replies: 48, 51 53.

[Wiltinglillies]

It would be great if we could NOT do this constantly about female politicians.

Does she drink alcohol? Abstaining slows down aging dramatically.

[TooGood2BeTrue]

She's still vile on the inside.

[PhilCornwall1]

@Ashtower I guess the question is, what does 47 look like?

My wife is 50, in my eyes looks absolutely amazing (I'm biased though) and many have said she doesn't look her age.

It did get me thinking, what's is a specific age meant to look like.

[StarUtopia]

Meh. I"m 46 and I reckon I look better!

In my case, I rarely drink alcohol, I"ve never smoked, I haven't got a real tan for over 20 years (and wear sunscreen every day even in Winter) . I did have eyelid surgery about 8 years ago to remove my hereditary hooded eyelids that I'd had since I was a child (but they were becoming very ageing) . I wear natural make up every day to protect my skin. I don't wear mascara so I don't pull at my eyes to remove it. My hands are moisturised daily and have been since I was 15. Ditto with my neck.

Other thing is great genetics! My mother is in her late 70's and everyone thinks she is late 50's/early 60's.

'If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies, how very different our ideals of beauty would be'

Saw this in Pinterest. It seems apt

[Juliette20]

I don't think she's a size 16 to 18, I'd say a 14 at most but not particularly tall.

[Juliette20]

I put YABU - she looks good but about her age. Which there is nothing wrong with.

[Pan2]

Can't help thinking of The Joker's fixed grin.

[Findumdum1]

I think she looks like a well off 47y old. She has a weird smile that make her look like she's smirking, which is unfortunate in a politician, especially a Tory.

[Diditmyway]

The stress of her job may age her, that happens to a lot of politicians.

[NotNowPlzz]

I am struggling with how to explain that she is overweight but I do not mean that as a negative as people automatically assume it is.
