It is possible to imagine a Conservative Cabinet consisting only of men. Come to think of it, the present one has more male Liberal Democrat MPs than female Conservative ones.
But is it possible to imagine the present Parliamentary Party furnishing an all-women Cabinet?
I have had a go, have come up with the following, and expect no-one to agree with it (least of all women Tory MPs for whom there wasn't room).
Theresa May – Prime Minister
Theresa Villiers – Foreign Secretary
Priti Patel – Home Secretary
Elizabeth Truss – Chancellor of the Exchequer
Maria Miller – Leader of the Commons
Sayeeda Warsi – Leader of the Lords
Margot James – Business Secretary
Penny Mourdaunt – Defence Secretary
Anna Soubry – Justice Secretary
Ann Milton – Health Secretary
Charlotte Leslie – Education Secretary
Karen Bradley – Work and Pensions Secretary
Anne McIntosh – Environment Secretary
Sarah Newton – Communities Secretary
Angie Bray – Culture Secretary
Amber Rudd – Transport Secretary
Justine Greening – Climate Change Secretary
Eleanor Laing – Scottish Secretary
Esther McVey – Welsh Secretary
Pauline
Neville-Jones – Northern Ireland Secretary
Nicola Blackwood – International Development Secretary
Dr Therese Coffey – Minister
for Europe
Tracey Crouch – Chief Whip
Lorraine Fullbrook – Minister without Porfolio (Party Chairman)
Cheryl Gillan – Minister without Portfolio
Andrea Leadsom – Financial Secretary to the Treasury
Laura Sandys – Cabinet Office (Lady Privy Seal)
Nicky Mogan – Cabinet Office (Paymistress General)
Helen Grant – Attorney-General
There are roughly four rows in Carla Millar's brilliant illustration – some seated at the Cabinet table, some standing round it – and below are members of this Cabinet, each with a number. A version of Carla's picture with matching numbers stands to its right.
