According to research by scientists from Durham University, published today in Evolution and Human Behaviour, a woman’s choice of partner may depend on her childhood relationship with her father. The team led by Dr Linda Boothroyd found that women who were treated well by their fathers during childhood are attracted to men who share a facial resemblance to their father. No such link was found in those where the relationship was poor. Such an apparent adaptive response appears to indicate that women are making the underlying assumption that people who look like their father might act in the same way as him.
Today’s PMQs provided further evidence, if any more was needed, that the Labour Party are going to miss Mr Blair. His performance was strong and, dare I say, displayed the extensive acting qualities he possesses. Maybe, when Cherie first caught a glimpse of the Prime Minister in 1976, she recognised familiar qualities? There is certainly a passing resemblance between the two men. Soon, both will be able to share stories of ‘past glories’ on the stage.

They are certainly both excellent actors, although I suspect Cherie did not know what she was letting herself in for… acting as a profession is one thing, acting a part in politics is a whole new dangerous game.
