Starmer Explains Removal of Thatcher Portrait from No. 10 Study

The Prime Minister cites a personal dislike for portraits staring down at him, not political reasons, for the change.

Keir Starmer clarified that the decision was not a statement against Margaret Thatcher.
The portrait, commissioned by Gordon Brown, was moved to a first-floor meeting room.
Starmer prefers landscapes over portraits in his private workspace.
The Prime Minister shared that this preference extends to his home decor as well.
Tory politicians criticized the move, calling it 'petty-minded.'
