A fresh wave of analysis has emerged after viewers spotted a teacup in goggles sitting very still beside a conference folder, which is, in tabloid logic, the same as a government appointment.
According to the more excitable corner of the internet, the teacup’s posture suggests it will soon chair meetings, settle disputes, and possibly pronounce on parking permits with great authority.
The theory hinges on three things: the reflective goggles, the tiny saucer, and the fact the cup is positioned next to a suspiciously important-looking pen.
Experts have further noted that if the teacup does indeed enter public life, it will likely insist on being addressed as “Sir Slurps-a-Lot” and will immediately ban biscuits from all open-plan offices.
None of this is grounded in reality, naturally; it is just the sort of absurd reading of a blurry image that keeps the rumour mill lubricated and wearing a tie.
