I don't know where the original photoshopping started but a fake picture of her has been circulating showing her wearing odd shoes on the wrong feet when going out to vote, implying she's not fit to take office were Labour to win. Whatever you think of her surely this is really misogynistic, racist, whatever. It's really vile.

The original image was of her and Labour MP Meg Hillier, and it was posted by Meg Hillier on her twitter account (now deleted), so I'd think it was genuine?

That's a really nasty thing to do.

There's a lot of other shots from the same time / location on which her shoes are matching

Can you post links to those, because all the pics in the media all show different shots of her and she's still in the same odd shoes on the wrong feet, you can clearly see the wrong one gaping out at the side.

I guess this is a way to try and mock Labour without breaking those rules.

Not if it's real, as I looks like it is. If Any member of the cabinet or shadow cabinet fronted up in odd shoes on the wrong feet, it would have been picked up on and commented on.

Really? Who else would that happen to?

There are an awful lot of photoshopped images of Jeremy Corbyn, and even more of Boris Johnson.

Lots of politicians are turned into photoshopped images.

There's a lot of other shots from the same time / location on which her shoes are matching. It's clearly photoshopped, her leg is a different colour!

I can usually Photoshop an image so it doesn't look shopped. Its often no use looking at the image, you have to use a tool to look for signs of compression, or look at the data.

I'm pretty sure the papers have rules they are supposed to stick to on election Day, I guess this is a way to try and mock Labour without breaking those rules.

Bluntness100 · 12/12/2019 16:07

I thought it was real. Has she commented? Twitter isn't a hive mind and isn't reliable as witnessed by the recent the Queen is dead tweets.

Twitter seems to think it's photoshopped. Whatever, it just amazes me that this is what people want to talk about on election day.

It doesn't look photoshopped, but it is pathetic and cruel though for the papers to circulate it, but not surprised, unfortunately.

angstridden2 · 12/12/2019 16:02

Is it definitely photoshopped? I can’t stand the woman but to be fair I went to work wearing odd shoes once....one open toed, one not. Picked them out of the cupboard in semi darkness and they looked the same from the back!good job I wasn’t an mp then.

Thelnebriati · 12/12/2019 16:00

There are websites you can use to tell if an image has been photoshopped, they are a bit rough and ready but I'm surprised any reputable resource would publish a digital image without at least having a look first.

I really dont think it has anything to do with being racist. What has that to do with the price of fish!

However I saw her on TV last night and she doesnt look or sound well, she could hardly string two words together and she seemed spaced out and forgetful. If she is ill she should really stand down and get her self well.
