Has the artwork been commissioned yet?
Yes, but how does it cost £8 million ?
(Number of councils x cost of portrait) should be nowhere near that amount.

Not exactly his fault!
Because the supply was tendered to a Tory MP's local barkeep?
If Jake Humphrey can score easy points off you and your party, it must be time to look for another job.

Suella Braverman ‘used loophole to claim £25,000 to pay for household bills’
Gone are the days when parliamentary expenses can remain under the radar. This is no exception even for senior Tory MPs like Suella Braverman, who is facing accusations of milking the system to get taxpayers to foot her £25,000 energy bill. The home secretary has claimed for household bill allowances for five years, despite living rent-free with her parents when in her constituency of Fareham, the Mirror reports.Former Committee on Standards in Public Life chairman Sir Alistair Graham said this looks like an attempt to ‘game the rules to maximise benefit’. ‘She says she “fully funds” her constituency accommodation but does not reveal it is owned by her parents,’ he added.

There was a skit in an old Charlie Brooker show years ago about imagining two monsters made of excrement battling it out for the right to smash up the world. It always springs to mind when I see stories like these two.
