Very nice, looks quite corruptible in that pic Wink

Yummiest MP though is Darren Jones (Bristol north west)

Khione · 03/06/2020 10:37

He looks like a Thunderbird character to me.

Plasticy and oiled. I do think he's better looking now.

pussycatinboots · 03/06/2020 10:37

He still is, and at least he is able to use a comb.

AdelaideK · 03/06/2020 10:38

I like that photo. He looks very different.

totallydevoidofideas · 03/06/2020 10:38

I doubt anyone will agree with me here, but I think a really smart pair of designer specs would improve his appearance just a tad more.

RainMustFall · 03/06/2020 10:39

Bbang You win the post of the week award Grin

He does absolutely nothing for me

Mrsjayy · 03/06/2020 10:39

Ohmygod Lee from Gogglebox wins Grin

totallydevoidofideas · 03/06/2020 10:40

Oh and I love it when he smiles, which obviously isnt very often! He has a great smile and because he doesn't use it much, it looks really genuine.

@PeskyEdith

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?

Brexit and Corbyn. In normal times, any half-way competent & credible Labour leader would have crushed Johnson.
Mittens030869 · 03/06/2020 10:41

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 PMQ

He's already done that a couple of times. I'm looking forward to a cross examination over Cummings this afternoon.

PeskyEdith · 03/06/2020 10:47

He was 46/48 when his children were born. Can you imagine the furore on MN if his wife had posted on AIBU "DH will be 48 when DD is born - is he too old?"

She would have been inundated with replies saying that in 10 years time he'd be winding down to retirement, unfit nearly dead and out of touch!

SistemaAddict · 03/06/2020 10:47

What time is PMQ? I could do with cheering up. A handsome, intelligent man wiping the floor with our buffoon of a PM will do the trick nicely.

Bleepbloopblarp · 03/06/2020 10:47

He reminds me of the punch puppet from Punch and Judy for some reason - his face looks like it’s been fashioned from wood!

Drogonssmile · 03/06/2020 10:48

I think he looks smarmy now and a bit gormless in that pic. Sorry, not a fan.

Pinksmyfavoritecolour · 03/06/2020 10:49

Not then not now, yuk!
WaY too shiny and smooth, but then a clean man in a suit has never been my thing.
I prefer the builder mechanic type, each to their own, be a sad world if we all liked the same thing.

ShredMeJillianIWantToBeNatalie · 03/06/2020 10:50

I think he’s attractive, definite resemblance to Andrew Lincoln. Although I think there’s a particular look he has now when he’s either concentrating or confused where the phrase “constipated toddler” pops into my head. Can’t help it. Sorry!

@Helendee

Greasy, nasal posh boy. No thanks!
Not posh at all. His parents were a toolmaker and a nurse.
Mrsjayy · 03/06/2020 10:52

PMQ is at 12 today.

Thinkingabout1t · 03/06/2020 10:53

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

Me too. And honesty and integrity. I wish looks weren't important in a politician, but they do seem to influence voters. So I'm daring to hope for the next election ...

SheWranglesRugRats · 03/06/2020 10:54

this will out me to my FB friends but I dreamed the other night he was restyled by Randy Fenoli from Say yes to the dress. The result was, ahem, impressive.

SerenDippitty · 03/06/2020 10:55

Yes he’s very attractive but I fancied/fancy Ed Milliband more.

BGD2012 · 03/06/2020 10:56

David Milliband was attractive.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 03/06/2020 10:58

Nooooo

tiredanddangerous · 03/06/2020 10:58

I think he still is a very attractive man. I can’t wait for him to tear Boris to pieces.
