For example …

Great to see @DominicRaab focus on how he wants proper protection from redundancy for new/expectant mothers and the start of paid parental leave for dads-all issues raised by @Commonswomequ @MaternityAction @PregnantThenScrewed @WorkingfamUK https://t.co/utFxVzvvnk

As if his desk whip photo weren’t enough, the gift that keeps on giving that is the Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson, added himself to the blursed list with this.
Just. What. Is. Going. On.
This is the weirdest bit of political imagery.

“Hi. I’m Gavin Williamson. You may recognise me from such things as ‘Being sacked by Theresa May for leaking documents’ and ‘Ruining the lives of thousands of children.’“
Of course, people had thoughts.

What are you talking about? Just a perfectly normal guy having a perfectly normal cuppa Joe. Definitely not a lizard. https://t.co/UqHqXFIfum

Credit where it’s due, though – at least he can drink from a mug.
Everyone is saying that failed minister @GavinWilliamson is a dick BUT he can drink a mug of tea with ONE HAND, while SITTING ON A DESK! Just let that sink in!
Trump is the most powerful and important man in the universe and even HE needs TWO hands to drink a drink https://t.co/4aTA1GhZ5C pic.twitter.com/aR6ftag674
