Requires some manual weeding though. Mix'n'match not really good for the
job.

Yes, the whole collection of current MPs has been
uploaded as of this
afternoon. I noticed that some current MPs have no photograph released
so far, such as Dame Rosie Winterton. If someone pings me, I can run
an update very easily, so long as the site does not change its layout.
A few were loaded locally to the English Wikipedia by other people.
Where local versions are being used in articles, I recommend these are
swapped to Commons, to encourage articles in other languages to use
them. At some point I guess the portrait photos will be sucked into
Wikidata, which may enable auto-illustrated infoboxes... ;-)
Thanks,
Fae

the Parliamentary Digital Service announce and
preview their
forthcoming release of a set of portrait photographs of 620 of the 650
UK MPs. Pictures of Peers and Parliamentary staff (and hopefully the
missing MPs) are also planned.
Most (probably all?) of the pics are now in:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Official_United_Kingdom_Parliam…
(Thanks, Fae!)
Please help to add these to the relevant Wikidata items, along with
the categories that are currently being created, and to Wikipedias in
your various languages
There are four images for each MP. I suggest that the "crop 2" format
is most suitable; and please use those with names beginning "Official
portrait of " as other, duplicate, versions are liable to be deleted.
