Priti Patel deserves her own thread

Well said Jess, especially "They are required ... to refrain from insulting other members" Oh that this was a rule on here.

"wonder if she’ll be allowed to do her RNVR training whilst she’s in office? Probably not a good idea, who knows what forfeits she might bring back with her."

Forces Reservists have to conform to the required duties so why the hell shouldn't she do the same?.

"They are required to bow to the Speaker when they enter the chamber and to refrain from insulting other members, for instance. "

You don't watch much of the proceedings from Parliament do you JessM.

DJ - Do you have no feelings for anyone?

Yet another attack DJ.

You sound as if you are the complete authority regarding what's happened to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. I believe her to be innocent and I believe the charges against her are bogus but I cannot say that with complete conviction because I do not know what evidence the Iranians have - if any.

My point is that we should be bringing pressure to bear on the Iranian authorities for their inhuman treatment of Nazanin, but as usual the government bashers are having a field day.

I have little faith that anyone will be able to persuade the Iranian courts to release her. Iran answers to no one.

How long have you been following the case, Day6?

How long have you been following the case, Day6?

What does that matter DJ? That remark is akin to "My Dad is bigger than your Dad"

Why don't you add a 'nee-ner' for emphasis?

You are the expert are you?

For your information I remember the news of her arrest and 'trial' but cannot say I check the story every day. Do any of us? Obviously her case has been highlighted by recent events.

So childish.

I don't know whether there are any grounds for her being held - but even if, based on the law there, there are - I don't think the majority of British people would expect, or appreciate, a Foreign Secretary making a statement which has made her situation even more precarious.

I don't think any of us can be sure as to exactly what Nazanin Zaghari was doing in Iran but, whatever it was, I would expect a member of our government to make useful, and hopefully persuasive, representations on behalf of a British citizen rather than cause even more problems.

This was nearly a year ago, a debate in parliament about Nazanin and Andy Tsege, along with other prisoners in foreign countries.

Why has May not said or done anything?
