Keir Starmer ‘gets rid of’ 10 Downing Street’s Thatcher portrait

PM's biographer says portrait of predecessor commissioned by Gordon Brown no longer hangs in the Thatcher Room

Keir Starmer has had a portrait of Margaret Thatcher removed from No 10 Downing Street, according to his biographer.

Tom Baldwin said that after Starmer took office he had spoken with the prime minister in Thatcher's former No 10 study, unofficially known as the Thatcher Room, where a portrait of her was on display.
