Was It Whispering At Night Or Something?
starmer's biographer has claimed that he has removed thatcher's portrait from the PM's residence
"
In a conversation first reported by Glasgow's Herald newspaper, Mr Baldwin said Sir Keir told him the study was a "place where we can go and have a quiet talk".
He told his audience: "We sat there, and I go: 'It's a bit unsettling with her staring down at you like that, isn't it?'"
He said the prime minister issued a one-word response: "Yeah."
Mr Baldwin said he then asked if Sir Keir would "get rid of" the portrait, prompting a nod from Starmer. He then added: "And he has.""
certainly sounds unsettling to me!

She had more greatness in her little finger than this clown will ever have. Her picture adorns the walls of millions of houses she won;t be too bothered about this little pipsqueaks removal of her, in fact she'd love the effect she clear has still.
I am reminded of Fred Forsyth's Exress article, the 2nd paragraph seems very apt at the moment as that is where we are heading under this disaster of a government.
Fred Forsyth – Daily Express – 23/02/2007
In all the publicity surrounding the thoroughly merited unveiling of the statue of Margaret Thatcher in the Members’ Lobby of the commons, it is easy to overlook the 17 years of her systematic demonisation by the sniggering classes.
The point is that you have to be of a certain maturity to recall the sheer awfulness of the last years of the seventies. Not just the winter of discontent, 1978/79 but the whole tottering edifice of our country reduced to a near-bankrupt “sick man of Europe”. We were heading, literally, for national ruin.
Every politician, civil servant, banker, industrialist and merchant was convinced that the rot could not even be stopped let alone turned around. But Mrs Thatcher did it and with not much help from the defeatists around her. Most of them believed Britain was finished.
But she took them all on and beat almost all of them. Galtieri in the south, Scargill in the North, the union tyrants at the strike polls, the wimps wherever she met them. They, reduced to their natural pygmy status hated her for it – and still do.
But, whatever they say, she did what had to be done. In her own words “There was no alternative”.
What has always riled me is that the self-serving coterie that destroyed her were not even up to her kneecaps. Such a pity that David Cameron has restored half a dozen of them to his innermost circle of advisers.
Twenty years from now she will still be staring in bronze across the members’ lobby. But you will have to scour the archives to find out who those who brought her down ever were.
