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

Is mumsnet making her trend!!!

No she made an inappropriate comment about Meghan Markel today.

TigerOnATrain · 13/01/2020 19:40

@Ashtower YANBU, she is very pretty.

And she does look good.

Doesn't look MILES younger than 47 though. Maybe 40-41.

Very few people look more than 8-10 years younger than their age. Maybe at first glance, but not when you look properly.

That's why I always roll my eyes and LOL, when people say on here (and on other forums,) that they frequently get asked for I.D. to prove they are over 25 (when purchasing booze,) even though they are in their early to mid 40s.

OK then. If this IS true, the person serving you needs glasses, or they are TERRIBLE at guessing ages. Because when you're in your 40s, I guarantee you do NOT look under 25.

No. You really REALLY don't.

Keir Starmer looks great too, and he is physically attractive. Again though, although he looks younger than his age of 57, he doesn't look more than 8-10 years younger. He looks around 49-50.

Yes agree on good cheekbones and bone structure, plus the melanin

Tellmetruth4 · 13/01/2020 19:46

Notice how they always roll out a token to claim there’s no racism? PP and Sajid Javid are notorious for it. It’s actually embarrassing. How do they look their families in the eye?

Back on topic. Yes she does look very good. Don’t like her but there’s no denying it.

gnomeisland · 13/01/2020 19:48

No hiding the ugly inside though

mindproject · 13/01/2020 19:50

I think she looks her age, maybe a little older. She has an evil face.

SwedishEdith · 13/01/2020 19:55

Make-up and hair dye (plus bone structure etc). This is a more realistic photo, I imagine www.commonspace.scot/articles/11982/priti-patels-journey-minister-meme-how-it-all-happened. Still doesn't change what comes out of her mouth.

I've seen Starmer close up. He looks good but, agree, not 10 years younger. He looks like he keeps in shape (he plays football every Sunday, I think).

LilyJade · 13/01/2020 19:58

Priti Patel is unpleasant with a constant smirk that detracts from any attractiveness imo.

turnthebiglightoff · 13/01/2020 19:59

It's the devils doing. I don't think she looks good, I think she looks smug, self righteous and dangerous.

1Morewineplease · 13/01/2020 20:00

Couldn’t care less what she looks like but I really worry about some of her judgement calls.

ethelfleda · 13/01/2020 20:02

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

This! For the love of god this!

midwintermorning · 13/01/2020 20:03

I think she's a pretty awful person...sold her soul to the devil?

TheThingWithFeathers · 13/01/2020 20:08

Yep, she will have bought eternal youth in exchange for her soul.

ambereeree · 13/01/2020 20:27

She looks her age if not older for an Asian woman.

Goldenbear · 13/01/2020 20:48

I think she looks her age my husband guessed a year older. She does have a good bone structure.

ManonBlackbeak · 13/01/2020 21:47

Why does she always have that smirk on her face? Bet she was a right bully/mean girl in school.

VeryQuaintIrene · 13/01/2020 21:57

Beautiful is as beautiful does - she's as ugly as sin in my book.

tensmum1964 · 13/01/2020 21:58

She sold her soul to the Devil.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/01/2020 22:15

She sold her soul to the devil. Got a decent price for it too at 1k perhour

BudgieHammockBananaSmuggler · 13/01/2020 22:22

Nextphone does your “how vacuous” comment pertain to this thread or to Priti Patel herself? One assumes the later...

doublebarrellednurse · 13/01/2020 22:37

Deal with the devil?

CrapTVAddict · 13/01/2020 22:45

She is pretty but I can't get past the evil smirk and the look of disdain she shows towards the majority of other people.

Bumfuzzled · 13/01/2020 22:48

Beauty on her is definitely only skin deep. A truly odious person.

aroundtheworldyet · 13/01/2020 22:52

@SanAntonio
Ah. Ok. Makes more sense

Floatyboat · 13/01/2020 23:04

She is quite fat. I think fat people often look younger.
