Priti Patel deserves her own thread

I think PP is so arrogant that she thought it was OK to go off and do her own thing and expect that it would be accepted. Surely it is only her arrogance that stops her resigning?

Maybe her crime was being found out?

I can only agree Nonnie.

Just to remind everyone, in case you were in any doubt, that PP pledged that the £350m per week would be spent on NHS. This was during an interview on Radio 4 Today programme before Brexit vote. When asked on what authority she made this pledge ( she was not in Treasury or Health departments) she started fluffing and unquoting herself. A truly dangerous, nasty piece of work. I am afraid that people like her, and bloody Johnson can get away with absolutely anything, knowing that TM has such a slender majority that she cannot sack them. PP should be sacked and so should Johnson. They are not fit for office. Mind you, on a brighter note, I think this may be the first discussion ever, as far as I can remember, when all of us, irrespective of our politics have been in agreement!

gill all in agreement - nice feeling.

This government is so weak that it cannot afford any more upset. But yes, she should be sacked and probably would have been under any other circumstances. Personally if Boris becomes PM I may emigrate.

If any of the Tories become the PM we just as well pack up and leave!

Well, even if she sacks them she will not lose her slender majority unless we have a GE and they are not re-elected (or are de-selected).

Not disagreeing, just pointing out that they would still be MPs.

Apparently Patel is off to somewhere in Africa - assume the FO knows where.

even if she is not sure herself.

A memory of times past. I would suggest a serial liar.

Sounds as if she's going to be sacked [unless it's false news...]

She does really seem to be in more trouble now - I wonder when she’s due back from Africa- don’t know exactly where she’s gone - probably having meetings with Robert and Grace Mugabe and offering aid money for his new bathroom. ?

Well Laura and Robert are tweeting that she’s on her way out - more secret meetings coming to light and some India connection?

Robert Preston tweeting "So I'm hearing Priti Patel likely to be sacked within hours. That would be two cabinet ministers gone in a week."

Tom Newton Dunne says she has admitted two more unauthorised meetings with senior Israeli officials since her return from Israel in August.

for a couple of seconds there.
Got it now

Oh! two posts in between mine and the one that me for a second or two

Robert Hutton saying Number10press confirms Prime Minister learned about Priti Patel's plans to give aid money to the Israeli army from the BBC today.

Who’s Robert Hutton?

There all journalists.

Or they're all journalists. Who typed the other one?!

Wonder if Maybot will ever get a grip. Suggestions are that she has zero power now and the cabinet is a totally lose canon. Certainly appears that way.

Wonder what is discussed at cabinet meetings!!!
