The anonymous winner of the auction decided to donate the artwork to the Labour Party and contacted East Renfrewshire councillor Paul O'Kane. O'Kane asked his party leader if he would be interested in taking the artwork and Sir Squeaky was only too happy to oblige.

Starmer told Cllr O'Kane: "Please pass on my thanks to both the donor and Kieran and let them know that I will be hanging it in my private office in the Leader of the Opposition's suite". The artist is 20-year-old Kieran Mackenzie from the village of Lochwinnoch in Renfrewshire. Sounds like a diverse place, not.
