Totally with you, OP: he is a little sleek now, with his middle-aged spread.

aquashiv · 03/06/2020 17:21

Johnson makes himself a complete tool he needs no one's help.

MarshaBradyo · 03/06/2020 17:26

I’ve just scanned the thread and it seems he has a face that looks like many others. Wonder if he gets it irl.

I can’t decide. I like him and think he’s good looking but there’s something on top that takes a bit of the ooh out.

FudgeBrownie2019 · 03/06/2020 17:31

Who, Boris Johnson? Totally agree grin

Starmer reels off a list of questions in that odd nasally way he has while Johnson makes him look an utter fool.

Unsure if you've been watching a different PMQ's or are just spectacularly drunk. Either way you're wrong. I'm not particularly enamoured with KS yet but BJ looked a complete blustering baby during todays questions "he didn't tell me on the phone beforehand he was going to ask those questions". Suspect KS hasn't even got out of first gear yet.

MarshaBradyo · 03/06/2020 17:33

Yep a cake walk so far, bet he’s lethal when he has to be. He’s very good against Johnson’s blustering.

IntermittentParps · 03/06/2020 17:36

He didn't tell me on the phone beforehand he was going to ask those questions".

Did he seriously say that? Shock Fuck me, how embarrassing. Can you imagine Thatcher saying that? Or Johnson's god Churchill?

FudgeBrownie2019 · 03/06/2020 17:38

@IntermittentParps I paraphrased but yep, he moaned that KS hadn't mentioned those questions on their earlier phone call. And came off sounding like a whiny wiener.

@MarshaBradyo he really is very calm and smooth. I appreciate his past as QC has probably taught him that talent but he's a credible opposition so far at a time when the Tories need to be held accountable.

Tomorrowsanewday · 03/06/2020 17:40

He always has a rabbit caught in the headlights look about him but I do like his monotonous voice. It sends me to sleep in no time.

BGD2012 · 03/06/2020 17:41

The phone call, which Downing St had to this afternoon clarify, was with all party Leaders not just KS.

0blio · 03/06/2020 17:47

@Fizzydrinks123

couldn't vote for someone supporting self-id which sabotages long fought for women's rights to safe spaces.

Starmer is a big supporter of self-id policy Corbyn stood on. Bit of a worry that people may be distracted by the messenger when the message is still the same.

Thanks for the info @Fizzydrinks123

I prefer this photo!

I do have a bit of a thing for very good barristers generally, it has to be said (lawyer, I'm not up in court regularly!).

Starmer comes across as intelligent, thoughtful, precise, compassionate and generally a good bloke (see his pro bono cases etc). What's not to like, personality-wise?

I don't find him wooden or nasally, and he's certainly not posh (odd that a Tory would use posh as an insult, mind you!).

As for who scores better at PMQs? It's not blustering BoZo, that's for sure!

MsTSwift · 03/06/2020 17:51

We think he is holding back to let BJ really cock things up and attacking too hard at a difficult time might not play well. But eventually he will unleash. God I would not be keen to have to argue with a flipping QC day in day out. BJa little heart must have sunk when KS got the job know mine would. Bad enough having dh as a litigator he wins every argument and he is nowhere near KS level!

slangofoillmochara · 03/06/2020 17:52

Yes there is something very attractive about him. Very intelligent man, which makes him more attractive!!

WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo · 03/06/2020 17:57

If it's a choice between a softly spoken but thoughtful man and a blustering thundercunt who can't cope without his merry little band of fuckwits jeering from the benches I know who'll be getting my vote.

And it isn't the blonde with the artfully messed up hair to give him the harmless fool look he's so fond of. 💁🏻‍♀️

Mittens030869 · 03/06/2020 18:02

@MsTSwift I quite agree. I wouldn't want to. But complaining about it is really not a good look.

JoysOfString · 03/06/2020 18:03

CoconutMacaroon you think Boris not only has confidence and complete control, but also rocks a suit!?

Confused

@NoWordForFluffy. That is a nice photo!

IntermittentParps · 03/06/2020 18:18

I know this is deeply irritating not the point, but the word is 'nasal'. Unless someone is 'speaking nasally' or similar.

SoberCurious · 03/06/2020 18:55

Ooo like the wig pic @PeskyEdith 😉
