      Officials signed off on £3,000 for fine art photos for No 10, not Sunak, says Downing Street

      Downing Street insisted officials rather than Rishi Sunak authorised more than £3,000 of spending on fine art photographs for the Treasury. The prime minister’s official spokesperson said: “Hotels for G20 finance ministers and central bank governors … the hotels were recommended by hosts and as such the prime minister was not involved in those decisions at all. In terms of art work in the Treasury, the PM – when chancellor – was not involved in that decision either.

The New Craftsmen,…

Terms such as “invasion” have insinuated themselves into the public discourse, and these malign references have only ramped up in recent weeks. Organisations on the far right, often engaged in in-fighting, have united over the issue of asylum seekers. Their messaging is bold and simple, drawing on familiar tropes in their worldview: asylum seekers are stealing accommodation from homeless British veterans, they say, and pose a threat to white British girls. The Home Office has admitted to record backlogs in…
