What would you like her to have done, just out of interest ?

I had high hopes for Pritti Patel. All dashed.
She just talks the talk and I’m so disappointed.

I will not resort to name calling but I do think it’s time for a cabinet reshuffle.

She’s a proven bully. Plenty of name calling of the other proven bully Bercow I notice !

She is making a complete embarrassing inhumane mess of the Ukrainian refugee crisis.

She is trying to follow UKIP’s immigration policy i,e. none, but failing miserably . The government’s current Ukraine refugee response is an international embarrassment.

Oh why indeed?

I have yet to hear a word said or written in her favour -even by Conservatives

Personally I think Boris is scared of her so he can’t get rid of her. Many men are frightened of a certain type of woman and I suspect he’s one of them. I find her dreadful but can’t see her going anywhere sadly.

She’s incompetent and dishonest. Johnson appoints incompetents - Ben Wallace seems to be an exception.

I think she is the sort of woman that ex public school chaps like. She reminds them of the naughty dreams they used to have about Matron. She reminds me of a couple of women I've worked for and they were both total nightmares (and also no good at their jobs)

She always looks as if she is smirking or looking down her nose at people as if they are a nasty smell. I am sure she is delightful to work for.?

I don’t like her much, but she wasn’t smirking. That’s just how she looks.

I saw a clip of the message from President Zelensky and PP looked as though she was smirking. Maybe she was trying to look sympathetic but it didn't work, at least not for me.

Another day of misleading the House.
I listened to Yvette Cooper this p.m. asking questions which Patel should have been there to answer. No wonder she was absent,. Yvette Cooper really showed her up.Oh for a proper Home Secretary who can cope and who gives you confidence. Patel MUST go and quickly.

We have never ever had such a nasty, useless minister, who had secret meetings with a foreign power and has lied in the house.

Dreadful woman.
