Tom Baldwin narrated an anecdote about Keir Starmer's realization of the unsettling presence of Thatcher's portrait during a meeting in the Thatcher Room, leading to a decision to remove it.
The portrait, commissioned by Gordon Brown, was very much a symbol of historical significance but has now become a point of contention among political factions.
Critics from the Conservative Party have labeled Starmer's action as petty and disrespectful towards history, claiming it reflects a disregard for previous leaders.
Starmer himself had previously acknowledged Thatcher's impact, indicating a complex relationship with her legacy even as he chose to remove the portrait.
