Rishi Sunak appears in a manipulated image (PA)

An image has spread around social media of what appears to be a poster at a bus shelter with a picture of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and lettering which reads: “See you next Thursday. Search ‘vote tactically’ to vote the Tories out on Thursday July 4th.” Some of the images have the letters “CU” instead of “see you” in full.

The image has been edited, the poster detail has been added to a stock image of a bus shelter in Belgrade.

The same image, but with a blank space instead of the Sunak poster, is available to buy on Shutterstock, a stock photograph database.

There are also two other images of the same bus shelter taken from different angles available on Shutterstock.

The images appear to be from Belgrade in Serbia. The concrete wall in the background with stone urns and inlaid metal decorations match Google Street View imagery from a park in the Serbian capital.

The building in the background also matches Street View images from the location.
