Eagle-eyed social media users have been quick to point out the height difference between Rishi Sunak and the tallest MP in Westminster.
Tory MP Daniel Kawczynski, who is more than a foot taller than the PM, posted a photo of the two of them on Instagram.
Mr Sunak is apparently 5 foot 6 inches tall, while Mr Kawczynski is reportedly 6 foot 9 inches tall.
Instagram users rushed to the comments section of the photo to point out the obvious height difference as the two stood side by side.
One comment, with more than 400 likes, read: "Saw this photo on Twitter and assumed it was photoshopped."

Daniel Kawczynski posted the photo on Instagram with a caption about concerns he had about an NHS trust (daniel_kawczynski_mp/Instagram)Another said: "If you raised your concerns they are probably too high for Rishi to see them."
Other comments included: "Putting the 'mini' in Prime Minister" and "So this picture is real. He’s not doing Sunak any favours with this photo op and it’s really rather amusing."
Mr Kawczynski, who shared the post on his Instagram, wrote as the caption: "Yesterday I met the PM and raised again my concerns over the management of Shrewsbury & Telford NHS Trust.
"Despite securing £312 million for modernisation of A&E Services 6 years ago construction has not started as a result of the appalling behaviour of Telford Council.
People also noticed Rishi Sunak's height when he greeted Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama at No10 (Getty Images)"These two hospitals just 13 miles apart service the whole of Shropshire & Mid Wales and local NHS Managers have failed to stand up to the inappropriate behaviour of Cllr Shaun Davies of Telford.
"The time has come for construction to start as these changes backed by the vast major of local surgeons and essential to secure lives of poorly Salopians!"
It is not the first time Mr Sunak's height has been the centre of discussions.
Most recently, a photo of him and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama at No10 caught people's eyes.
