Boris Johnson has been caught blatantly manspreading in the House of Commons during Theresa May's first PMQs.

The bumbling blond Brexiteer was spotted with his legs virtually akimbo on the government front benches this afternoon.

It was his first time sitting in at PMQs as a member of Theresa May's cabinet - and he was clearly keen to make his presence felt.

The terrible bench-manners were preserved for all time by the official Parliamentary photographer, allowed a rare chance to take snaps in the Commons today to record Theresa May's first PMQs.

Here he is, taking up more than his fair share of bench

Perched between Home Secretary Amber Rudd and Patrick McLoughlin, the cameras caught sight of several inches of green leather between Johnson's ample thighs.

He seemed to be enjoying himself.

Even as Jeremy Corbyn was questioning Theresa May's judgement for putting him in charge of foreign relations, considering how often he's upset and insulted people from overseas.

Is there something in the water at the foreign office?

It's not the first time a Foreign Secretary has been caught employing terrible seating etiquette.

Seriously

In David Cameron's group photo, taken shortly after he formed his first Tory cabinet last May, Boris' predecessor Philip Hammond was caught putting a similarly huge gulf between his knees.

Of course, Mrs May herself has never been shy of displaying a powerful stance

She was one of the earliest Tories to succumb to the party's virulent 'wide standing' disease.

Neither has Boris

He caught the bug shortly before the referendum.

Other victims of the wide standing bug include...
