Rishi’s in the frame . . .

DECIDING which portraits of his predecessors to hang in his office, Chancellor Rishi Sunak said he chose Labour’s Hugh Gaitskell because they were ‘at the same school’. Winchester College has bred six Chancellors, including political bedfellow Sir Geoffrey Howe, whose jowly mug is nowhere to be seen. Could it be that Sunak prefers Gaitskell because he went on to be Labour leader? His other chosen portrait was of William Gladstone, left, who Sunak, inset, says ‘watched all the pennies quite rigorously’. He also made the leap from No 11 into No 10.
