Boris is getting a lot of stick for this photo, which I think is unfair. Tony Blair did it to the same desk in the same office.

And I can only find Margaret Thatcher writing or on the telephone at her desk, but it’s a different desk.

All in all, we can say that the style of official photos is edging towards being more relaxed on ones desk, and Blair started it at Number 10.
But it’s not just Theresa’s bottom & Blair and Boris feet that have adorned that desk.
