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!

Whatever she looks like on the outside will never make up for her ugly views and opinions.

I would have pinned her for late forties, and Keir Starmer around 54.

People with darker skin look younger because of melanin. Obviously genetics plays a huge part
My fifty year old black work colleague is in her fifties and could easily pass for late thirties. It really isn’t fair

Nigella Lawson 60 this week

People can be 'pretty' and older

Actually lighter skinned Gujaratis don’t tend to age well as our skin tends to freckle with age even with sunscreen use. She has because she is overweight.

I taught her when she was about 18..looked good then.

Woah she does not look her age

She's the Grand High Witch.

She is overweight and absolutely gorgeous. Disgusting views and seemingly no heart or soul whatsoever, but that doesn't stop her from being facially beautiful.

Many Asian women look like her. I do. Genes.

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

Yep. Fat people age better. It is known.

Of course this is a great retraction from the fact that she's responsible for the suffering of many but hey ho, it's her looks that matter

Lots of politicians look well put together and good for their age, we don't tend to trust the scruffy, well worn ones

I think @willothewispa has it precisely and I would echo the

and any thoughts of Dorian Gray

I think she's beautiful too.

47 is not old

@Floatyboat @NotNowPlzz

?!! in what way is she "fat" ?

Unnecessary cruelty - I wouldn't say she is fat, I would say she is a short, relatively small woman (by the UK's generous standards) with curves. She is not pencil slim, but she is not "fat".

She has ridiculously good bone structure that I'm sure most folk would envy - as well as a facial expression and mouth shape which naturally sits in an upturned smile, meaning she looks like she's smirking all the time.

If people could stick to the facts instead of giving her physical image a good kicking because of her politics, it would make for a better debate, but hey...don't let me be the one to stop a good kicking and biscuit lobbing on AIBU, such is the way here.

Nice to hear from you Priti. How are you feeling? Planning to repatriate your family any time soon? Oh, that's for other people, of course.

@longwayoff

Funnily enough I'm not Priti Patel.

Anyway, who gives a shit about her politics when the OP was talking about her appearance and wanting to know how she does it? That's the topic here.

I hope you're thorough enough in your moral certainty that you've gone through your iTunes and deleted all your Michael Jackson, R Kelly, ensure you never watch a film made by Miramax/The Weinstein Company, etc etc..

I think she looks about her age, from my vantage point of being 17 years younger than her. She’s a very attractive woman, superficially speaking. Odious personality and views ruin the overall package somewhat.

Not sure how exactly people are saying she is overweight though

I cannot stand her but she is definitely not fat. She’s short and not thin but not fat.

Thank you @isitsnowingyet

@GinDaddy, this is AIBU. It is BU to discuss the Home Secretary on the basis of her interesting cheekbones. There are other places in which to do so if that's your thing. Meanwhile, I'm glad we can't see inside.

Ugly on the inside definitely

I didn't say she was fat I said she was overweight. And I didn't mean it as a negative. The photo above looks slimmer than she is. If you Google you will see. I'd think she's about a size 16 to 18. As am I, and I'm happy with my size.

yes, lovely face but fat body.
