Following on from news last year that the UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer had exclaimed 'I don't like it [portraits]. I like landscapes', there have been further stories in the press recently that historic portraits of the Duke of Wellington (x 3), Oliver Cromwell (x 5), King Charles I and Sir Winston Churchill have been removed from display in several Government buildings.
