Many were confused by the inexplicable third boxing glove on a man attacking Theresa May’s manifesto.
Some voiced their concern that those at Labour HQ may need a lesson in human anatomy.
The 'triple whammy' poster was revealed by Mr McDonnell, a senior ally to Jeremy Corbyn, as the party responded to the Conservatives’ election pledges.
It features a man with three oversized boxing gloves, one saying “no triple lock”, another saying “no winter fuel allowance”, and a third saying “pay for care with your home".
However, people seemed to spend more time deciphering the logic behind the poster than the actual political policies.
