So while the rest of government is being forced to make cutbacks you wasted £37000 of our hard earned taxes on this frivolous shite for your own vanity? You shameless

puffed up popinjay.
So that's £15000 for your coat of arms, something you've managed to make look so tacky it could have come out of the Lizzie Duke bargain bin.

And a further £22000 for this portrait,

£37k, let's put that into context for a moment. Am RGN will have a salary of between £25k and £30k a year so that is one less nurse for the NHS with money to spare.
I'd say you should be ashamed of yourself but that is a word politicians seem to forget the meaning of very easily.
