In fairness, Leo Varadkar has a point.
When you think about, Leo Varadkar’s claim to be the ‘World’s Best Taoiseach’ is pretty much on the nose, given the fact that he currently exists in a group of one.
He’s even got the mug to prove it.
While this looks like a group of very serious people doing very serious things around the announcement of a deal on Phase 1 of the United Kingdom’s Brexit negotiations, our eyes were drawn to the mug placed just in front of our fearless leader.
Varadkar tweeted this out on Friday morning after sitting down with Ministers Simon Coveney and Helen McEntee.

Exhibit B:
Exhibit C:
Conclusive proof that, yes indeed, somebody definitely went out and bought Leo Varadkar a ‘World’s Best Taoiseach’ mug from a shop that deals solely in ‘World’s Best Taoiseach’ merchandise.
It had to be his mam, right? That’s the kind of present only a mother can get for her son when he’s confirmed as his country’s Prime Minister.
It’s a bold claim, but logic dictates that it’s rock solid. Like the man’s ego.
We only hope that he didn’t buy it himself.
