Conservative minister Matthew Hancock is the latest politician to fall foul of the golden rule of the photo opportunity - always look behind you.
The skills minister was snapped at London's South Bank skate park for a piece in Total Politics magazine.
What he did not realise as he beamed for the camera is that a graffiti artist had sprayed "sack Cameron!" on a pillar behind him.
Total Politics editor Sam Macrory insists the picture was not staged.
"Our photographer is mortified. He hadn't spotted the graffiti at all. This is an honest mistake," said Mr Macrory.
Yesterday, this beauty!!
