Wasn't Keir Starmer gorgeous?!

[SoberCurious]

Well what do you reckon?

Did he inherit his knighthood or was it awarded?

He is a QC. He is going to annihilate Boris in due course. Looking forward to it!

It was awarded he was seen to do an excellent job at the CPS and was well thought of. He went to state school that became private while he was there and is a QC which is as good as it gets for a barrister. He is a legal heavyweight.

Did he inherit his knighthood or was it awarded?

Awarded. He was Director of Public Prosecutions for five years. Like many senior civil service roles, the knighthood comes with the job.

Greasy, nasal posh boy.
No thanks!

Unlike Boris “man of the people”🙄🙄

I quite like him but not keen on his weird quiff. He needs a hair restyle.

He comes across as measured and intelligent and is the complete opposite of Johnson. I find intelligence very attractive.

This!!
There was actually a really interesting interview with him the FT a couple of weekends ago and he came across really well. Apparently much of his career has been pro bono work rather than just chasing the big bucks; a man of principle then?

Isn’t it PMQs at lunchtime today??

I am very much looking forward to Starmer skewering Johnson and hope we don’t have to wait too much longer.

That FT article; sorry if link doesn’t work

I find him quite bland looking, if anyone remembers Max Headroom, it's that kind of vibe he gives me. Love him at PMQs though!

Not even remotely!

Plus he's a politician so that automatically gives me the ick.

Don't get me wrong, I'm generally a Labour voter (or an anything but Tory voter) but yeah... no.

he complies with socially conditioned expectations of what a leader should look and sound like

How did we end up with Boris Johnson as PM?

I think he looks like Lee from Gogglebox

I can't stop thinking of Mark Darcy when I see him. Not a bad thing but Colin Filth is much better looking. I prefer KS now though, like a PP I prefer a fat man!

Actually I quite like him as he looks now!

@Bbang

I will never be able to unsee that now. Fantastic, thanks then.

Oh PW is a nice looking fella .

Kier , meh , run of the mill face he had and has , in my opinion

No not seeing the attraction at all.

I've always found his calmness, conscientiousness and intelligence attractive. You know he wouldn't miss the crucial detail and he's someone who listens. I find his voice a bit surprisingly 'light' somehow. (Same is true of Colin Firth, that's a fantastic link!).

Lookswise, dunno, have mostly heard him on he radio I suppose. I'm relieved he fits 'socially acceptable image of leader' as that gives him easier access to that game and helps allow for a functioning opposition. Looks shouldn't matter but... they do.

Id never have picked that picture out as him. I dont think he's any better or worse looking now just very different.

He's got a touch of Egg from This Life in that photo!

Yes KS was good looking. He was in his mid 30s in that photo with the blue shirt, he looked much younger.

He really ticks my boxes: super intelligent and self made; a fighter for equality and justice but not preachy. He has a really physical presence that's very appealing.

Um yeah, technically...but he looks all buffed up and smarmy which is not my thing at all.
I think he looks like a cartoon character now. No offence to him at all...but yeah he’s like something from Family Guy.

God that post was indecipherable with all the yeahing there. Sorry.

Greasy, nasal posh boy.

How is he a posh boy? His parents were a toolmaker and a nurse and he was state school educated?

I think he’s quite attractive and he looks like he smells nice. I’m also looking forward to him ripping Boris a new arsehole on a weekly basis at PMQs.
