Hang on, you can’t leave that there! Baroness Warsi uses No10 railing as coat hook as she poses for photo
Bartamaha (London):- She has just become the first female Muslim cabinet member in history.
And Baroness Warsi was determined an inconvenient coat wasn’t going to spoil her moment of glory.
Faced with an eager bank of photographers, the Tory peer slipped off her mac – and hung it on a Downing Street railing.
She then posed on the steps of No10 in a pink and purple shalwar kameez, a traditional Islamic garment.
‘To be born as the daughter of an immigrant mill worker in a mill town in Yorkshire, to have the privilege of serving in Cabinet at such an important time in Britain’s history, I think it is terribly humbling,‘ she said.
Baroness Warsi’s bright outfit made a sharp contrast with the dark suits sported by most of the other, predominantly male, Cabinet members who met for the first time yesterday.
Like many of the new ministers, she described the session as ‘very constructive’.
She said: ‘There was a great amount of goodwill around the table. There’s lots of hard work to do and some serious decisions to be taken.’
Baroness Warsi has replaced Eric Pickles as chair of the Tory Party.
The Dewsbury-born former solicitor was shadow minister for community cohesion when the Tories were in opposition and vice-chairman of the party from 2005 to 2007.
