Yep, Leo Varadkar looked like he had shrunk in his latest post and once it was said, there was nothing anyone else could see. The tweets came in thick and fast as Twitter refused to miss the opportunity to make a killer Father Ted reference.The chair is big but with the huge lamp it really does make him look small!

But seriously, I'm glad somebody is standing up for Ireland's right to have giant chairs and lamps. https://t.co/Uw4ppHvBSc
