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".

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.
