Séamas O'Reilly: Politicians are increasingly sharing their personal lives online for internet points 

I don’t know if it’s necessary, or even desirable, for public figures to be relatable, but it seems increasingly important to them

Discussion of Leo Varadkar's pre-prepared meals prompted the FSAI to issue advice this week. Picture: Instagram

Like many of you, I found myself looking at the contents of Leo Varadkar’s fridge the other day, when he shared a bewildering photo showing a vast array of uncovered food containers, filled with inscrutable food. He captioned it: “Matt has the meal prep done for the week. Fair play!”

Just like Leo every mealtime, I found there was a lot to unpack. What were these foods, which were almost but not quite identifiable — are those eggs? Omelettes? Is that ... is that a hard slab of dry ham hock? — and why didn’t any of their containers have lids?
