It was the historic moment when Theresa May signed the Article 50 letter and finally set Brexit in motion. And now, with just one year to go, the Prime Minister has sought to enshrine the memory in the form of a portrait. The Telegraph can reveal that Mrs May recently paid £110 out of her own pocket for an oil painting to hang in her private quarters. She bought it in December, after it was given to her by the artist James Drake, the philanthropist, and Lord Moynihan, who arranged for it to be sent to her private office. The peer, who as Colin Moynihan was a former Olympic rower and Sports Minister who helped organise the 2012 London Games, is one of Mrs May’s oldest friends. |
