Nicky Morgan takes photographer to task for calling her a ‘girl’

With the press pack out in full force today to cover George Osborne’s budget, one photographer’s day has got off to a bad start.

As Cabinet ministers Nicky Morgan and Amber Rudd left a pre-Budget Cabinet meeting this morning, they were greeted by a photographer who shouted ‘morning girls’. While the snapper managed to win the 42-year-old Education Secretary’s attention he may wish he hadn’t.

Morgan replied incredulously: ‘Girls?! Girls?!,’ before wagging her finger at him.
