I now fancy an MP

For some reason the last couple of days, I have started to develop a crush on the MP Darren Jones. He is looks wise my type, I think it's the glasses and being tall that probably is the reason why.

Am I crazy, I bet loads of people will tell me that I am?

Googled

Yabu, sorry

youalright · 03/09/2025 16:08

Just googled him and I do kind of see what you mean but the fact hes an mp repulses me to be honest

AmusedOpalShaker · 03/09/2025 16:22

Grim.

Lottapianos · 03/09/2025 16:27

He's not bad to look at. People on here have had FAR more shameful crushes on MPs, believe me! 😁

Randomchat · 03/09/2025 16:33

He really reminds me of my brother. So I can't fancy him but I do think he looks like he'd be good company on a night out.

PacificState · 03/09/2025 16:37

There’s a very charming clip somewhere of him being asked a policy question in a live interview and just saying ‘I have no idea what the answer is, sorry’. He’s on my personal list of MPs I’d quite like to go to the pub with.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 03/09/2025 16:38

He looks like a normal bloke you'd meet at uni.

SeaAndStars · 03/09/2025 16:57

When you said glasses and tall I pictured Rees-Mogg and thought YABU, but having looked Darren up YANBU.

Yes he’s not Boris Johnson (boak) or Jacob Rees Mogg (infinite boak) so there’s that 😁

Mercurial123 · 03/09/2025 17:02

YABU though I worked with someone who had a crush on Ian Duncan Smith, which is not normal.

Limth · 03/09/2025 17:04

I just Googled him.

Grim.

Looks like he'd have weird balls.

millymoo1202 · 03/09/2025 17:04

I’m glad I’m not the only one, I didn’t know that was his name so had to Google him but yeah I would 🤣

Zimunya · 03/09/2025 17:05

The same guy who refers to PIP payments as pocket money?

PosiePetal · 03/09/2025 17:06

'This year, I will mostly be fancying the MP Darren Jones.'

I had to Google. You may have him.

Deepbluesea1 · 03/09/2025 17:07

yuk! why just why?

TheOpalReader · 03/09/2025 17:08

Not for me sorry but whatever gets your motor going!

BauhausOfEliott · 03/09/2025 17:09

I don't find him immediately hot, but he's a pleasant-looking bloke and always quite nice. I feel like I'd get on with him if he was in my team at work.

BauhausOfEliott · 03/09/2025 17:10

AmusedOpalShaker · 03/09/2025 16:22

Grim.

'Grim' is a strong word to describe a very normal-looking man. He's hardly Michael Fabricant.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 03/09/2025 17:10

Oh, thank Christ. I thought this was going to be another frog face Farage sex dream thread.

MycatLarry · 03/09/2025 17:14

Zimunya · 03/09/2025 17:05

The same guy who refers to PIP payments as pocket money?

And the one who claimed most illegal migrants arriving on boats are women and children?

CosyMintFish · 03/09/2025 17:14

Nice first post Darren @readyer

Twinkletwinklelittlestar97 · 03/09/2025 17:27

A Labour mp, quite high up in the treasurey I believe, so that repulses me straight away. I think he's a jazz saxophonist too, so maybe he's a bit cooler when he's playing, you never know

PacificState · 03/09/2025 17:29

@Twinkletwinklelittlestar97 Starmer poached him for No 10 this week, which is probably why his photo is more than usually prominent at the moment

IMissSparkling · 03/09/2025 17:33

I have also just googled this person who I hadn't heard of until two minutes ago. He looks like a smug mansplainer to me so YABU.

muddyford · 03/09/2025 17:40

Thought you meant military policeman. I was going say the Royal Marines' uniform is better. But an MP!
