Where's the Home Secretary?

Chest I never said anything about what I thought PP was thinking - I simply am amazed at her absence. And btw, tbf, I have posted positively of MH and I think the Communities Secretary comes across well. As for JRM as a member of the Cabinet he should be in his London home obvs.

one's country home

But surely one's constituency home is one's main residence?
When one lives in rural Somerset one may have a second home in the capital.

Were one to stay in London, one could be accused of retreating to one's second home
One should set an example and work from home
But very quietly

If you mean me SW not at all. Just get fed up with all the nasty comments.

If Priti Patel wanted to close our borders before it was advised to do so, she may well be proved right in the end, suziewoozie.

People are saying that China did the right thing with an earlier lockdown.

Oooohhhhh who’s had a nerve touched?

Oh come on GG part of the job we pay the HS for is to say nothing when the country has Emergency Legislation in place and we’re in an unprecedented crisis ? You didn’t really think you’d get away with that post did you ?

Just because they are not on TV doesn't mean they aren't working away behind the scenes. We don't get told everything. Any excuse to have a dig at the Tories and make nasty comments about the cabinet ? and if you can't find anything then just make something up!

I wondered where she was too, especially last night when Teresa May was wheeled out to explain some of the internal workings.

Perhaps they are actually doing the job we pay them for?

Locked away? ??

It’s not about who fronts them lemon but about who’s been locked away and is not fronting them. We are talking about the holder of one of the four great offices of state who can’t be allowed out (along with the Leader of the House of Commons who was equally silent during the GE campaign).

Am not in the least concerned who fronts the daily briefing, and think Robert Jenrick does an excellent job of it, as does Alok Sharma and Dominic Raab, flanked of course by the medical experts.

She's looking for someone else to bully. That's the trouble with people working from home there's no one to pick on!!!

TBH I suspect she is for the chop and as a consequence been sidelined until there is time to sort it out.

Yes I was wondering the same thing . She has disappeared since she had that spat with her senior civil servant

You would have thought she would be on the tv all the time during this crisis

JRM's children go to school in London - where he declares his primary residence I've no idea.

He has a big pile in Westminster.

When this all kicked off qq JRM was in his London home doing his Government job. He should have stayed there once travel to second homes was not allowed. But tbf we have no idea where he is do we? He should be in London working however. But instead .....

JRM's real home is his country home!

Yes it is River that’s why I’m somewhat perplexed that it’s occupied by one of the great ministerial failures in the parliamentary Conservative party.

Various men including Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick, and Business Secretary Alok Sharma have hosted the daily press conferences; I'd honestly never heard of either of them.

Sharma I can understand, just, but Housing Secretary?

The Home Office is one of the four Great Offices of State.

Looks like they might be afraid to put some people up at the podium...

Call we’d be told if they were ill. They are both being kept off the media because JRM would say that it was only ‘common sense’ to go to one’s country home and PP because she can never wipe the smirk off her face.

I think our borders should have been closed several weeks ago.

Maybe she doesn’t fully support the Governments stance, reports said that she wanted to close our borders, but the Medical advice was ‘Nope’...... so if any reporters questioned her it could prove a bit embarrassing for the Medical experts either side of her.

Actually, I do hope they are all all right.
