She's not the first though.
Even the Daily Mail reported this:
'Official Downing Street photographers are a relatively recent phenomenon. David Cameron, who was the first to appoint one, had his paid for by the Conservative Party.
More recently, they have been funded by the taxpayer.'
She had a good chance though to say that she was going to change the way things are done but she hasn't, although I would ask when are we going to find out what the Conservatives benefitted by when they were in power?
