As my Mum used to say, 'I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him'!

I think you and your Mum are dead right in this case.

So many personal remarks on here, how horrible to comment on his teeth, his hair, his stubble. Reminds me very much of the thread about Angela Reynor and the way she dressed.

Not really. I think we expect our politicians to look reasonably neat and tidy if they represent us. The comment about Rayners suit were just spiteful imo

I admire him immensely. And will vote green

I think the vote was about her, That, and tactical voting.

He’s dangerous. He wants open borders and panders to pro Palestinians. He piggy backed onto the Greens and I bet many voted just because of the party name. Isn’t there also controversy about sectarian voting and family voting?

I couldn't care less about his hair (he keeps it short and tidy or his teeth) his stubble does look scruffy. Grow a beard or have a shave.

I do agree with a lot of what he says. Having said that it’s easy to comment on things when not actually in government. And his new MP said that, if she won the seat she wanted to Keir to stand down. I don’t see what right she had to say that.

And the comments about Boris, his hair and him looking like a burst sofa?
The fact is commenting on public figures disrespectfully is part of our British heritage 😁

Whilst the observations regarding the green trouser suit, could be deemed as bitchy, I didn't feel the need to comment on it, whilst I didn't like it much, it wasn't that bad and after all, Angela always looks pretty well groomed to me.

But....get a grip those who think the comments regarding Polanski's appearance are personal, oh come on we had numerous deprecating personal remarks regarding Boris' fly away hair, his obvious lack of satorial style, bloody hell he looked a right mess next to Macron Not to mention Agent Orange across the pond whose slap gets thicker by the day. I've even seen the odd comment here on GN alluding to Rishi Sunak's height from his detractors along the lines of "annoying little man" when he was PM, like he has any power to change that! Zac Polanski's teeth or lack of them are something he could change, maybe he can't be arsed he should consider it, it makes him look like a throwback from a bygone era when lack of teeth was endemic.

Absolutely! If that is all you can criticise about him........

In competitive politics, small visual details can influence how seriously someone is taken. If he and the Green party really want to be taken seriously, they need to tweek him!

Impressions do affect credibility
whether we like it or not. People often associate neatness with confidence and competence. I know I do.

I know he's not the only politician who's been classed as a scruff, that's wasn't/is successful either.

Boris's hair was an affectation. We were told by all sorts of people that he spiked it up before he went on TV. And if a millionaire can't buy clothes that fit when representing the country...

Polanski dresses like any other 40something in the street. DS is much the same age.

Millions followed Gandhi and look what he wore.
Not for one moment defending the way he dresses, just saying 😂

Nigel’s teeth are pretty awful.

Me too.

Blimey!
I watched him on LK and thought he handled her well.
Made a change from the continuous Reform people who seem to be on every week.

Would I trust him as PM with the defence of the UK?

I think I agree with this, quite strongly

I'm ashamed to say, that although I'd heard OF Polanski, I'd never put a face to the name. When I did, my initial reaction was, what a scruff bag.

This photo used to make me laugh!

No, no and no again 🙀

Heck, no!

Not a hope!

I would not trust him a a leader; too many chops and changes in his relatively short political career. His Green Party manifesto does not appear to include all his aims.

But he trounced Reform and Labour in the recent bye-election, and should not be taken lightly.
Be interesting to see how much was due to the candidate and how much to the Party.

Did you read how he 'trounced' Reform and Labour' the whole voting in that election is being looked at.

I don't like him either. He seems strange to me. He does not give me the vibe of a leader.

Frankly, I don’t give two hoots what he looks like, I do care how he comes across, but it’s quite refreshing to have a few more “normal” & average people in politics and I wish him well. Perhaps he’ll “grow into this role”, he’s clearly got lots to learn.

I don’t care about his hair, his teeth or his stubble, many politicians look “sparky clean and well turned out” does that make them good leaders or good MPs?
