British Prime Minister Kier Starmer has removed scores of historical artworks from 10 Downing Street and replaced them with objectively awful drawings in the name of ‘diversity’.
The works Starmer ordered pulled down as part of the cultural purge include portraits of William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, William Ewart Gladstone, Margaret Thatcher, Sir Walter Raleigh, and past British monarchs including Elizabeth I.
The leftist leader has replaced paintings of those historical figures with what can only be described as ugly doodles by ‘modern artists’.
British PM Keir Starmer has removed 69 paintings of British royalty, Churchill and Shakespeare inside Downing Street, the official residence of the British PM.

The Daily Mail reports:
Sir Keir Starmer was last night accused of being in thrall to ‘the wokerati’ after the full list of the paintings removed from No10 since he moved in was revealed.
Portraits of historic figures such as Elizabeth 1, Mary, Queen of Scots, Sir Walter Raleigh and William Shakespeare were among the 69 works of art ‘deinstalled’ from the Government Art Collection since the election.
The revelation comes after a long Freedom of Information battle with the Tories.
Among their replacements are Altar, a scene from the 2023 Falmouth Reggae Festival in Cornwall by Denzil Forrester.
Other paintings include All Things Being Equal, by the Nigerian abstract artist Nengi Omuku, which ’employs the human body as a medium to convey internal experiences’ by ‘using oil paint on strips of Sanyanan indigenous fabric from pre-colonial Nigeria‘.
Then there is Almond Clasp by the British-Ghanaian Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, who specialises in ‘brooding portraits of Black life’, and Still (III) by Christina Kimeze, who currently has an exhibition ‘inspired by the resurgence of roller skating in Black communities’.
10 Downing Street, the official residence of the Prime Minister isn’t even open to the British public, so this move by Starmer isn’t even a virtue signalling stunt.
It’s presumably just because he can’t stand to be surrounded by British historical culture.
No one hates England and English people more than Kier Starmer

Indeed, he described the Thatcher portrait as “unsettling” and remarked that he did not want to be stared down upon by a painting.

Cristo slams Keir Starmer for removing a portrait of Margaret Thatcher from 10 Downing Street, because it made him feel “unsettled.”@cristo_radio | #Talk
Just look at what was chosen as a replacement.
Is that crayon?

It looks like an 8 year old did it.
We've replaced historically relevant art with children's crayon drawings. This sums up our current govt nicely.

They’re laughing at us.
Maybe they can get some macaroni pictures and popcorn necklaces next.

Other ‘art’ Starmer chose to buy with taxpayer money and display:
Sir Walter Raleigh and Elizabeth I doubtless come and go in Downing Street (unlike portraits of former great PMs), but I'm fascinated by the artworks which Starmer has chosen to hang instead: Portuguese feminist postmodernity, colourless, almost soulless. These reflect (on) him. pic.twitter.com/gYVgfMen46

Acclaimed artist Lynette Yiadom-Boakye’s 'Almond Clasp' now hangs at No.10 Downing Street, the UK Prime Minister’s official residence. The British-Ghanaian artist, known for her evocative portraits of Black life, joins a new wave reshaping the UK Government Art Collection pic.twitter.com/jn9gWRt5Cl

Hands up Brits, who identifies with that one? No?

The prime minister has the right to decorate 10 Downing Street as he pleases and to dress as he pleases. Theresa May demonstrated her awful (in my opinion) fashion sense and she was in her right.
Now, you want to be giggly teenage girls and dictate tastes to other people, I can’t stop you. But you won’t convince me that the contents of your mind are worth anything.
Hey, remember that scene in the film 2012, where they were replacing the National Art treasures with fakes? I wonder if this is the camouflaged version?
Every time I see Kier Stalin’s fu*king face, I imagine my fist smashing right through it. If I had the means, I’d drive a fully armed tank in to London and drop the houses of parliament with it while they’re all inside plotting their next treasonous move.
I am disgusted by our so called leaders.
About 87% of the population agrees with you (me included). I can’t see Starmer being there in 4 years. I can see civil unrest, maybe even revolution, on a scale that makes the Southport ‘riots’ look like a tea party. If it gets much worse, I would not be shocked if Parliament is stormed and the traitors dragged out kicking and screaming.
Keir seems to share the misconception that the UK is an African state, but at this point, it might as well be. Apparently, there is no longer any space on the planet in which English culture can exist.
When this blockhead is finally deposed all the people will need to hire is a dumpster to remodel the place. The question is…WHEN?
Keir the “Queer” Starmer strikes again. He’s not “unsettled”, he’s unhinged. How much longer are the people of Britain(the real Britons), going to put up with this guy?
The man is both a philistine and a fool, in addition to being a complete twat.
