Illustrator Stanley Chow threatened legal action over unauthorized use of his Andy Burnham portrait.

The Conservatives printed the artwork on water bottles and sweet packaging at their autumn conference.

The party agreed to pay a £1,000 copyright fee and cover legal expenses.

Mr Chow criticized political parties for failing to seek permission or respect creative labor.
