Via Charlie, a heads-up about the image currently dominating the front page of the Labour website. The original can be downloaded here if you’d like to take a closer look.
Me, I’m thinking that your average British arm has unique reflective qualities, and what we are seeing here is probably an optical illusion created by reflected light and Gordon’s natural highlights.
No, really…
UPDATE – Via B3ta… [slaps forehead]… the most obvious ‘edge’ is probably a sleeve.

PS – Tch. All the fun stuff seems to happen while I’m away. (more)
