He doesn’t care about using a disposable cup, has to be reminded that he *should* care and gets it confiscated. Now coffee-less and miserable, the big green PR win is cancelled out by the fact it was all caught on camera anyway. Absolute perfection. pic.twitter.com/tsvyoiPz3q

They're so magnificently shit at this. I love the idea that if she whispers 'no disposable cups' in front of a camera, no-one will ever know she said it. https://t.co/ojBW3YcWYR
