The Conservative Party has settled with Manchester illustrator Stanley Chow after using his cartoon of Prime Minister Andy Burnham on water bottles handed out at its conference to brand him a 'bottler'. Chow, a Labour supporter, threatened legal action over the unauthorised use. The party reportedly paid a £1,000 fee and contributed towards his legal costs, while saying it now considers the whole matter closed.
