Baroness Warsi Denies Second Job

Baroness Warsi, named as one of many in Parliament who still hold lucrative second jobs, denied that this was the case, insisting that her role of Chief Mattress Tester in her family's business was a voluntary position to lend support to the firm.

In fact, she went on to say that she cherished the role just for the fun of it and would happily pay them to let her carry on for as long as she was fit enough. Both she and her daughter spend many happy hours in the factory, especially recently, when her daughter had a Princess Party sleepover and invited all the girls from school.

It is believed that the Baroness is training her daughter to take over from her and the signs so far are encouraging.

"She's taken to it like a natural," stated the Baroness proudly. "It's quite daunting when you first dive headlong off the stantions onto the mattress pile, but it's the only way to truly find out if they're as good as we claim them to be. And she's getting close to my Record Bounce from a Standing Start, she's only nine inches away from the strip light above the memory foam section."

A union official at the factory though, say the workers are disappointed with the Baroness' decision to stay put, as they were all hoping for a chance to jump around on the mattresses during their breaks. "It's the only perk of the job there is, to be honest and from a business point of view, it would make for a healthy and happy workforce. We hope the Baroness will reconsider her position - the last one of which I believe was a Swivel Hips. And very well executed too - but it's time to let someone else have a go."
