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.

Rishi looks like his mum has dressed him last year's outgrown school trousers.

🤣🤣 I've also heard him described as a giant Xmas day ham , which is accurate.

Wasn't there a cartoonist who used to draw him with his head stuffed into a condom? I can only remember him like that.

Was never PM but I always fancied Andy Burnham

@FrenchOnionShoeBox FIT. omg h0lla at m3

Look at the man walking behind Rishi - Cass Horowitz 😊
Mind you, his dad was always a looker and I have seen him at close range many times.

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) 😁

Thank you! That's a very stiff looking serve, Mr Bonar has.

It’s like saying custard creams are the nicest biscuit in the biscuit tin, because the alternatives are Rich Tea, Malted Milk and Garibaldi.

He’s no Chocolate HobNob though is he.

OMG lol 😂

@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.

GB is one ex PM I 'd like to have a beer with (or maybe he is more of a single malt man). I think he would be very interesting to talk to.

MarshaBradyo · 25/10/2022 14:44

I’ve heard a few people say this, I like his suits and kind of get it but not quite for me

MenopauseSucks · 25/10/2022 14:44

Yup, definitely think Rishi's a hottie & the fact he's not that tall is great as I'm only 5ft although we're f**ked if something is needed from the top shelf in Waitrose....

On the other side however, and not strictly in this poll of dishy PMs, I always thought both Miliband brothers were quite swoonsome Blush

Thank heavens Mumsnet is anonymous...
I've just been leering over politicos!
I imagine we'd all be disgusted if a group of blokes were giving Thatcher, May & Truss marks out of 10...

FrenchOnionShoeBox · 25/10/2022 12:41

I dunno, I saw Lord Melbourne on that ITV series and he was pretty dishy.

IKR!

Haha at top Waitrose shelf. I always help people if they can’t reach I’d get it for you both ;

emptythelitterbox · 25/10/2022 14:47

Not really my type but he does have a lovely smile and eyes. He has the American veneer perfect white teeth.
He also looks nice in a suit.

Shiningstarr · 25/10/2022 14:49

I think Rishi Sunak is handsome. I quite fancy him actually.

Cait33 · 25/10/2022 14:50

Anthony Eden hands down for me

Rishi looks like a cardboard print out of a person. You would need to zoom up to 200% to get him to the size which would turn my head.

InsertPunHere · 25/10/2022 14:51

He's a midget, I can't see the appeal. Although compared to Johnson pretty much everyone is better looking.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 25/10/2022 14:51

@ClaudineClare Yes! Gordon, a roaring fire and him with a single malt (I'll have a port). I'd happily listen to him for hours.

MarshaBradyo · 25/10/2022 14:52

Yes v dishy.

catandcandle · 25/10/2022 14:53

Just talking about looks, for a laugh, not politics. (Although I would never sleep with a Tory no matter what they looked like).

Youngish Gordon Brown very top of the pile for me for sure. Rishi, no way, too short and slight, too smooth and polished.

Pitt the Younger in that picture looks like a child, so that's a no. I am not sure if anyone has mentioned John Major, but I think he has aged well and looks better now than he used to. Harold Wilson had a very sweet look to him. David Cameron was what my friend and I at university used to call a BJF (blow job face i.e. always all shiny). Asquith was a handsome man.

Fudgeytastic · 25/10/2022 14:53

He's no George Osbourne 🔥

Croque · 25/10/2022 14:53

Philip Hammond and Graham Brady are still joint first for me.

Sestriere · 25/10/2022 14:53

Absolutely not, his ears are massive and he’s a bit cross eyed. He dresses well, but so would I if I had his money.

A young Cameron was the best of a very bad bunch.

Pegasushaswings · 25/10/2022 14:55

countrypunk · 25/10/2022 12:50

He doesn't do it for me at all, mostly because of everything he says, but also because he's 5'6 (yes, I know he can't help that) and sounds exactly like Will from The Inbetweeners.

I honestly would have thought he was 6 foot plus! I’ve never actually checked or anything but that surprises me.

the Haunted Pencil HAS resigned from the cabinet

Yay! My god, how I hate the Haunted Pencil. Vile man.

He used to be the Haunted Wardrobe. He's just wasting away.
