Poll shows women love Gordon Brown

What's that all about then? I thought all mumsnetters, for a start, hated him.

He is looking different these days - his 'personal care' budget must be huuuuggge. Anyone else noticed? Not that his new look does anything for me - please don't think that!

Oh I can't get the bloody link to work. So here is the bit I'm on about.

"A YouGov poll for Channel 4, taken immediately after Monday's keynote Labour conference speech, found Labour have a 16 point lead over the Tories among women."

But everyone thinks his speech was snorific, non?

Hmmm...well I think he comes across as a more genuine person that Tony Blair; more substance and a bigger thinker.

I used to find all that 'right on' with the kids attitude toe curling about Tone and Cherie.

What is it that Gordon does with his bottom lip when he talks though? I can't stop looking for it when I see him on TV.

Yeah it's when he pauses for breath. I can't listen to what he's saying for looking at him doing it. Surely someone has told him!

I quite fancy him, not as much as Tony,

lol.

Maybe its just the whole Mr Primeinister thing??

I heart Gordon Brown

What's that weird sticking his tongue in his cheek thing all about?

they didn't ask me

I fancy the arse off Nadine Dorries, but that doesn't mean I am shallow enough for that to make me vote Tory...

He has more 'of the night about him' than Michael Howard.

He gives me the creeps, in fact talking of creeps he puts me in mind of Uriah Heep, all hunched and hand wringing - ugh!

There was someone saying, he s like a "good dad" ie solid, dependable, not a flash get and genuinely cares about what matters, not flim-flim staying with CLiff Richard etc.

God yes, I do I love him. I'd probably do him.

Okay its odd, hes not good looking (has lost weight recently sure of it)

I believe in him as a politician, he has integrity (she says glossing over the meeting with Thatcher........)

I can't imagine 'loving' any politician. But GB seems like a solidly human being unlike TB.

I think I got a slightly soft spot for GB when he looked so delighted and 10 years younger when his daughter was born, and then so sad just a short time later.

Though I'll never forgive him for what he did to pensions.

Not sure about 'love' but I like him. Infinitely preferable to Blair. He gives the impression of sold seriousness - makes me thin of old fashioned bookish socialism instead of New Labourish spin.

I'm sure Brown is the Mr Rochester of politics.....he sort of has that gruff but soft air.

Rofle at Brown as the Mr Rochester of Politics.

Reader, I voted for him.

Unquietdad - I think it is a facial tick. He suffered a bad rugby injury (nice to think it might have been inflicted by a boy Tory but as it happened in Scotland my inner Miss Marple tells me this is extremely unlikely) and I think there is some facial paralysis as a result of that injury, hence the odd thing he does with his facial muscles (including tongue). Either that or some girly once told him that doing a blow job action with your tongue whilst making an important political speech is knicker-elastic-pingingly sexy. Or perhaps he is trying to appeal to the pink vote? He is so boring. I try very hard to listen to what he has to say but he is so dreary it is impossible for me.

Threadworm - like it.

Oh, Thatcher could be his mad wife in the attic. That's why she was at Number 10 the other day

Rofl Mr Rochester... actually, remembering BBC Jane Eyre with Michael Jayston, waay back when I were a lass, at the end where hes had his eye knocked out too - yeah, your right.

GB does not AFAIK have a mad wife stashed away in the attic of No 10. Unless Mrs T has moved back in ....

I read somewhere that he invited T for tea because she invited him to number 10 on his first year in parliament, sort of returning courtesy.
not that I think that is all there is to it.

but I do quite like him lovely boyish smile

I don t like his new crispy hair though. But Sarah Brown seems nice. And he doesn t make too much of his kids or use the loss of his baby for political capital.

I like him. He's Heathcliffian. Blair was more Hindley Earnshaw.

Oh no...not heathcliffian. Heathcliff might have been fatally attractive but he was also a total feckless selfish violent arse. Mr B is the total antithesis of that. But I suppose he is craggy in a Heathcliffian sort of way
