Nadine Dorries Dorries says: ‘Before it became mine, my office has always been held by senior male MPs. The window looks down on the railings and the courtyard below where 100 years ago, the suffragettes would have held their protests. At that time, I am very sure that they would have been watched and commented upon. Standing on that very desk in high heels and looking out of that same window felt symbolic and poignant. It was all down to Jane, who made the photo look like a film still; that added to the effect and gave us both goosebumps when we realised what we had just done’
