Rachel Reeves has drawn criticism for replacing Nigel Lawson's portrait with that of Ellen Wilkinson, signaling a shift towards celebrating female political figures in her treasury office.
The Telegraph noted that although Reeves can choose her office decor, the change reflects her and Keir Starmer's vision for the country's future, focusing on feminist progress.
A Treasury spokesperson succinctly labeled the switch as 'Change,' indicating a broader commitment from Reeves to reshape the cultural representation within government.
Eddy Frankel stated that the new government's art choices represent a desire to present a new image, suggesting a reordering of cultural symbols under this administration.
