If there's one thing the internet loves, it's a good mystery.
Throw in a slightly blurred, fleshy-looking photo and a politician, and it's even better.
SEE ALSO:This photo perfectly sums up the state of British politics in 2017On Tuesday, UK Parliament returned to the Palace of Westminster following its recess.

She also shared a photo of the packed chamber. The picture was deleted less than an hour after she shared it, but we've included a screengrab below:

That photo was taken by Gordon Parks in 1958. Its title is "Showgirls Playing Chess Backstage". And if you compare that picture to the shapes on the MP's phone screen, it does indeed appear to match up.
We wanted to be 100% sure, though, so we got back in touch with the tweeter to ask how they found it.

So there you go: despite the initial excitement, the outcome was a lot less thrilling: the MP was simply on Twitter, and he tapped on a photo that had been shared by @historylvrsclub.

Still, it was fun while it lasted.
