The image was accompanied by the words "Lame duck... Totally useless prime minister."
It is a reference to Johnson's accusation that Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is a "giant chlorinated chicken".
The Conservatives have been accused of "silly playground behaviour" by members of their own party after they launched a campaign depicting Corbyn as a chicken.
On Friday afternoon, the Conservatives' Twitter account shared a doctored image of Corbyn in a chicken suit, with the caption: "Hey (KFC), we've found an even bigger chicken than you.

Earlier this week, after a picture of Jacob Rees-Mogg showing little regard for the House of Commons business went viral, they projected the image on to the side of Edinburgh Castle, with the words "Lying Tory".
