Jeremy Corbyn has adopted a meme to encourage people to register to vote by writing a hidden message in a photo on Twitter.
Posting a photo of himself, the Labour leader wrote on Twitter: “Zoom in on my glasses.”
Zooming into Mr Corbyn’s glasses, a message in small white font reads: “Register to vote by 11.59 today. Link in my bio.”

The “zoom in” meme format took off in 2017, in which the poster writes tiny text on an image revealing a message, most popularly wholesome notes like “you are beautiful”.
Denny’s restaurant even took part in the meme two years ago, writing “has this distracted you from overwhelming existential dread lol” in whipped cream.
