WHY HE’S STILL IN No 10

- PETER OBORNE IS AWAY

AFTER John McDonnell’s outrageous descriptio­n of Winston Churchill as a ‘ villain’, staff in Downing Street are wondering how a labour government might change the decor in No 10.

for there is a portrait of the great war leader on the wall of the PM’s study. There’s also a bronze bust by the Croatian sculptor Oscar Nemon of Sir Winston and his wife Clementine in the lobby and two pictures of him on the grand staircase — one in black and white by the master photograph­er yousuf karsh. Would McDonnell insist they were all taken down and be replaced by images of Cobynista heroes karl Marx, Vladimir lenin and Venezuelan thugs Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro?
