Made me go weak at the knees and I can’t stop thinking about it. Fairly confident I am the only woman in the country who feels like this and I should probably refer myself for some kind of aversion therapy.

Before Wednesday I had the same Raab is a wanker opinions as the rest of you. Sorry, I just needed to tell someone.

Odd isn’t it that when these men do abhorrent things (Hancock, Raab) a thread quickly starts up saying how hot they are with a number of agreements. So funny that….

Joyfultoes · 01/07/2022 21:47

@User3936493947 do you have any other interests apart from Raab as you’ve not posted any other threads on mumsnet?

Nooooooooo!

He's not a person who makes winking sexy. He’s a very unattractive winker. Please don’t make him think it’s attractive as he might do it again.

it makes me a bit 🤮 even to think about tbh

Spellcheck let you down again there 😉

If it helps @Joyfultoes I would quite happily put Sir Keir in the married category of shag, marry, avoid.

You are entitled to your opinion that I am a Tory shill but I don’t suppose anything I say will convince you otherwise!

A few references to Liz Truss being working class?! Her parents were left wing but her father was a professor at Leeds university and she grew up in a relatively expensive part of Leeds even if she did go to a (well regarded) comprehensive school.

Dominic Raab always seems like a shiny suited candidate on The Apprentice, overcome by his own self importance.

Flease · 01/07/2022 21:56

You are not the only one OP. Me too! I know it’s totally unreasonable but that wink got me. 🙈🤷🏻‍♀️

This? To each their own, of course, but is it this that you're all taking about?

From this shot, I might have thought he had Bell's Palsy, I was actually thought to be 😉at a colleague when it started for me. No drama, she just said "Why are you winking at me?" and then everyone thought I'd had a stroke (so much drama)

If so Dom, you need steroids, quickly.

Nat6999 · 01/07/2022 22:43

I hope you are getting help for this, he reminds me of Ramsbottom the snake on the Sooty show, a slug that can't even be called a man, if anything it tightened my knicker elastic. How dare he do that in Parliament, it is nearly as bad as BJ getting a blow job in his office in the Foreign office.

tiktokontheclock · 01/07/2022 22:45

It was awful. Bunch of public school boys behaving badly and now the country is paying for it

VickerishAllsort · 01/07/2022 23:11

A couple of years ago there was a thread about Famous People I Have Known, and one MNer admitted to sleeping with Raab.
Haven't heard from her since.
Just sayin'.....

Joyfultoes · 01/07/2022 23:30

@VickerishAllsort I mean people can say anything on an anonymous forum

Sugarpull · 01/07/2022 23:31

Yes! I had sex with Dominic Raab 😉

Kidsaretryingtodestroyme · 01/07/2022 23:35

My ‘gift of fear’ radar goes nuts every time I see him. There’s genuinely something very negative about him, like there’s a simmering violence underneath the suit. I don’t find men with that type of vibe sexy at all.

ashitghost · 01/07/2022 23:36

Yanbu

Standard enemies to lovers trope. Sexy as.

Abhannmor · 02/07/2022 01:29

He reminds me of Hugh Laurie as the fuckwit Prince Regent in Blackadder. But without the laughs. Still who am I to judge ...

Perplexed0522 · 02/07/2022 07:02

I liked it and I imagine AR did too. It came across to me that underneath their debate was a lot of flirtation with each other 😂

Kidsaretryingtodestroyme · 02/07/2022 07:04

This man is one of the key reasons why the value of our currency is falling through the floor against all other major currencies. The makes imports more expensive which drives inflation. And you’ve got people more focused on his wink.

sashagabadon · 01/07/2022 20:03

Quite a few of the Tory front bench are first generation immigrants and/ or arrived in U.K. as children. Raab is one of them but there are others too.
And Liz Truss is from a working class lefty background and spent her childhood with her mum in Greenam Common.
So not “posh “ for many of them.

Her parents were Lefties but not working class.

I don't think many of the Greenham Common women were working class?

steviewiththecankles · 02/07/2022 07:20

Gross and sleazy. That whole joking, cheeky chappie thing is just awful.

User135644 · 02/07/2022 07:20

I still remember half of MN drooling over Matt Hancock

Reminds me of Rick Myall's Alan Bastard from The New Statesmen.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 02/07/2022 07:25

I knew I'd hit peak lockdown when I developed a crush on Dominic Raab. I used to look forward to his briefings 😒

ExcaliburBaby · 02/07/2022 07:29

he’s a black belt in karate or something which probably makes him think he had channelled all his inner rage into something powerful and zen like

Well yeah but Alan B'stard was clever. Whereas Raab has only just worked out that Dover is a port . More Tim Nice But Dim !

Abhannmor · 02/07/2022 07:45

But wait....is Dimness actually a turn on? It must change the power dynamic if your male crush has an IQ hovering around room temperature.
