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.

No he's not handsome. He's too thin, apart from anything else.

Snap, I couldn’t give a toss what he looks like. I do like the serendipity of the timing with Diwali, tho, hopefully the light will shine on Sunak’s ability as a good leader.

You'll have the thread police asking you why you clicked on the thread and posted.

I wish he’d get trousers not ankle flappers. He’s got enough money for tailored surely!
Im not a Tory voter but he does at least look smart unlike that sweaty, flabby Johnson.

That said, Jacob Rees-Mogg is strangely attractive and looks like he could be quite fun under the strict headmaster appearance

JR-M has been described on MN (accurately, imo) as looking like he ejaculates dust.

Penny Mordor, whilst undeniably good-looking, has a decided dominatrix look about her, which may well explain her popularity amongst male Tory types.

I must agree that I wouldn't kick Rishi out of bed. Preferred Ed Milliband though.

That said, Jacob Rees-Mogg is strangely attractive and looks like he could be quite fun under the strict headmaster appearance Grin

Penny Mordaunt is a very attractive woman and sure to be the subject of many male fantasies.

Can't understand the lust for Boris Confused

I think you need a lie down and a lot of psychiatric help.

Benjispruce4 · 25/10/2022 15:53

Doesn’t look skinny. Would be alright if he was taller and not a Tory!

John Prescott was more my type although he never became PM.

Nooo! I'm feeling a lot less embarrassed about George Osborne now...

No I'm actually some way with you on Osbourne. Mysterious and detached with mercurial depths you might want to delve.

Yes. Defo intrigues waaay more than Rishi.

steff13 · 25/10/2022 15:54

He's cute, but too short for my personal taste. David Cameron gets my vote, if I'm pressed, but it's slim pickings.

fannyfartlet · 25/10/2022 15:55

I don't care what he looks like as long as he doesn't do any more damage to the country.

cobblers123 · 25/10/2022 15:55

I think he's nice looking, it's the expensive, classy suits he wears that do it for me though.

I love to see a man in a really well cut suit.

You're likely to be disappointed there...

Jesus some amount of low bar stuff here

maybe just ignore it if it's beneath you

ThereIbledit · 25/10/2022 15:57

It's a sign of how bad a state we are in that I'm welcoming of Rishi as he seems to represent more stability and sensibleness than we have had in years, and depressingly more so than the leader of Labour :(

BravelyStunning · 25/10/2022 15:58

Op, I agree, Rishi is handsome- but gotta love the poster who suggested it wasn't a competitive field

neverbeenskiing · 25/10/2022 15:58

I've met him socially once or twice and he's got limp damp hands. Can talk intelligently about gardening though.

This reads how I imagine Nadine Dorries introduces her main characters potential love interest in one of her novels.

I don't have to justify to you whether or how I choose to respond to a thread provided I post within the talk guidelines. I happen to think too much store is set by looks and personality in politics and that is to the detriment of the electorate.

  • But, again, you chose to click and comment on a thread that makes it clear that it’s about Rishi’s looks. As it’s important we know your thoughts.
  • Rishi becoming PM had zip to do with the electorate, so that’s a moot point.
  • Judging from the appearances of the majority of PMs past, it’s safe to say that looks have not been a key motivating factor in their rise to power.

You clearly wanted some attention and I’ve given it to you. You’re welcome. Carry on.

LoveMyCats1 · 25/10/2022 16:00

Yes I like him! I think he would warm on me. He looks kind.

KangFang · 25/10/2022 16:01

None of them were ever attractive including Rishi.
He might be the smallest though.
He's as big as a minute.

ArabellaScott · 25/10/2022 16:01

Benjispruce4 · 25/10/2022 15:53

Instantly more attractive because he's holding plates of food. Wonder what he's using for marinade?

MarshaBradyo · 25/10/2022 16:01

If it was just about looks Penny Mordaunt would probably pip them all. She’s good looking but didn’t get the gig.

halfbakedkate · 25/10/2022 16:01

@Aposterhasnoname I'm crying, that's the greatest post I've ever read on here.

Tsort · 25/10/2022 16:02

neverbeenskiing · 25/10/2022 15:38

he also seems to know how to carry himself and not run into fridges etc.

It's a low bar, but an important one.

😂😂😂

Jarstastic · 25/10/2022 16:03

“dishy rishi” not bad looking at all.

Haven’t read the thread but Asquith seems handsome. Very good features.

IcedPurple · 25/10/2022 16:04

I used to think Jeremy Hunt was attractive in an evil posh Tory sort of way, but he's aged quite a bit in the past few years.

Dominick Raab however...

Yes, Penny's pretty handsome, too.
