Did UK ever had so handsome prime minister?

First I'm not British, so probably not my place to write about this, but I like reading about your history and politics.

I can not name every UK prime minister in the last 100 years, but looking at their pictures I can not remember any other that was so handsome as Rishi Sunak.

His policies aside, he is physically just my type.

Anybody else thinks he is lovely to look at even if you do not agree with his opinions.

He really looked like this

I know! The key words were as played by Ian McShane!

auntiemabelisveryable · 25/10/2022 14:24

For some reason this has really annoyed me.

The country is in the middle of a crisis,
the NHS is on its knees, we can't afford to feed kids or to heat our homes.

The Tories are a shambles ... yet you are on here telling about how attractive the new PM.

MN would not be happy if a younger female PM had just started the role and a group of men were on here discussing how fit she is rather than her policies!

He may be good looking and 42 but just you wait and see how much he ages. Most PMs always end their term looking haggard.

Liz Truss aged about 2 years for every week she was in office.

Bluekerfuffle · 25/10/2022 14:25

No. I can only see the silly, nerdy twerp he was in a clip of him as a student saying something stupid that only a very privileged, out of touch person would say.

badbaduncle · 25/10/2022 14:25

He is very handsome and very well dressed. I bet he smells gorgeous. His billionaire wife was hardly going to pick an ugly duckling was she?

WeisheitNurInWahrheit · 25/10/2022 14:26

Asquith was quite good looking though I admit by the time he became PM he was in his fifties & I’m not into the Old Enough To Be My Father thing.

Henry Addington (Viscount Sidmouth) was one to disprove Dahl’s idea about thinking good thoughts - didn’t want to abolish slavery & supported having no Catholics in Parliament, hence taking over on Pitt’s resignation.
(For those unfamiliar with said quote:
If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.)

Anyone interested in checking out (however you may choose to take that) former British PMs, the NPG is the place to go.

And just for @ArabellaScott I’ve attached a pic of Bonar Law playing tennis (link to NPG collection on him) 😁

Rishi looks to me like someone has clasped his little face in both hands and pushed inwards and then tried to correct this by grabbing both his ears and pulling outwards.

He has a boyish attractiveness and the general freshness of youth. But definitely not someone who strikes me as having that masculine magnetism or sex appeal.

Blair, Cameron etc = yuk! Boris is genuinely preferable to those grinning creatures.

Stanley Baldwin was meant to be quite desirable in his youth, but that’s going back a bit.

Completely agree with all of this.

Yeesh! Hideous!

goldfinchonthelawn · 25/10/2022 14:31

I think he's handsome too. I find small, slim, dark-haired men easy on the eye. But I couldn't fancy him because he's a Tory. There is nothing sexually attractive about being a Tory.

dworky · 25/10/2022 14:33

You're attracted to 'head too big for body, slightly cross-eyed' types 😄

There is not much to laugh about at the moment, it is true. But it's just a bit of fun and no-one has said anything particularly inappropriate, which I bet would not be the case if we were a bunch of men discussing a female PM (or any woman for that matter).

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/10/2022 14:36

@auntiemabelisveryable It's precisely because of the fact the Tories have fucked up the country that people are maybe needing a bit of light-hearted nonsense about something else, perhaps.

I find Gordon Brown's voice very attractive.

MissGroves · 25/10/2022 14:36

Every time I look at him he makes me think of a cute cartoon mouse...no idea why but he does!! 😂

Disraeli as played by Ian McShane was very handsome

You mean Ian McShane is handsome.

Disraeli, on the other hand, wasn't.

I’ve seen you do this twice, now. You seem to be seriously struggling with the concept of humour. Do you genuinely think posters believe these long dead PMs rose from the grave to entertain us on the telly box? Or is if more logical that we all know these are actors and we are joking?

Walkaround · 25/10/2022 14:37

Rishi Sunak has an earnest looking face - accentuated by the ears, which give an impression of vulnerability rather than threat and cruelty. It’s harder to believe someone with a reasonably attractive face, combined with features that make them look unthreatening or even a bit vulnerable themselves, could be an evil mastermind. Putin, on the other hand, fulfils the facial requirements of a Bond villain quite satisfactorily.😂

GordonShakespearedoesChristmas · 25/10/2022 14:37

Couldn't care less. He's a Tory so that's repulsive to me and I can't put the politics to one side.

Badbaddogagain · 25/10/2022 14:38

Dishy Rishi yum yum. Not that I want to objectify but you did ask

Coatdegroan · 25/10/2022 14:40

Hate the tories but grudgingly admit Rishi is very good looking.

William Hague= very sexy voice

NellesVilla · 25/10/2022 14:40

What about Hugh Grant in Love Actually 😉

Elderflower14 · 25/10/2022 14:40

I read somewhere where someone said he looked like Roland Rat.....Cant unsee or unthink that now... 😂 😂 😂 😂
