Blair’s new portrait will hang in Portcullis house because “Politicians’ pictures cannot be hung in the Palace itself until they have been out of office for two full terms”. Personally, I think it would look nice hanging above Gordon Brown’s desk.

    His mouth is at the wrong angle relative to the rest of his face.

    Apart from that it’s a very effective portrait of The Mekon.

    Bell is awful. He always sticks up for the oppressor.

    Tired academicism.

    Christ, he looks even more like Nosferatu than usual.
