She was busy defending the clusterfuck that is quarantine. Leaked memo to border force agents says with regards to the forms that must be submitted at the border, they will only attract attention if people put their names down as Mickey Mouse or address as Buckingham Palace, so that’s Nonce Andrew in trouble again should he pass a border...

There must be some sort of clownavirus that affects these twats - they're all the bloody same, pulling fanciful and (on current track record) unfeasible promises out of their backsides every time they hit a new adversity.

It was an absolute face-palm shocker of a moment: Flo Eshalomi (Vauxhall MP) was saying the UK has a structural racism problem and suggested the Government didn't understand it and didn't know how to deal with it. Patel proved her right by ignoring the question and saying "yeah, well I got called a p**i when I was a kid."
Matt Handjob then also blatantly ignored a question at the daily briefing about why black people were more likely to get fined for breaches of the lockdown. He nearly fell apart when the journo (Haroon Saddique of the Guardian) ticked him off for saying his name wrong. They don't know how to deal with race and just fall apart whenever they're questioned about it.
More non genius from the Home Office.

No, they couldn't, but they could sideline her in preparation for a quiet sacking later.

Isn't she just the nasty, vicious little thug? It makes the stories of her various bullying episodes in Whitehall departments all the more credible - you can see just how she'd do it.Wait, what?

I know most people will have seen this already, but this is the question from Florence Eshalomi that prompted this escalating series of ministerial rants:

To be fair this is on the back of several years when the tories had to do nothing but say 'yeah but Jeremy Corbyn hates Jews' and whatever heinous catastrophe they'd created that week would somehow go away as a result. Hardly a surprise if she still falls back on that big red button now, it's not like independent thought is an option for her.

It's worked well for the Republicans so they've clearly taken a lesson.

Relax
The supererogation of successive home-secretaries is plain to see. Just by being there they can claim their beneficence. After all they made it that far, and that is the point. We shall all be converted to the cause: be it ever so worn down. Hatred of others will make it embraceable as we embrace our own helplessness.

She is actually illiterate, isn't she. I'd obviously try to be more sympathetic if it turns out she's dyslexic or something, but given we all know someone writes her speeches etc for her they obviously can't be bothered to proofread what they're writing.

It's a Cunning Plan. They're going to sneak everybody out of her department, one by one, until there's only her left. And then the PM will announce that the bullying allegations clearly can't be true, because how could Priti "vacant" Patel be bullying herself?Going well then...

The paper said senior civil servant Helen MacNamara is refusing to exonerate Ms Patel from some of the allegations of bullying, despite Boris Johnson’s aides reportedly wanting to say the inquiry found no conclusive evidence.
This riles me on a number of levels. The main one being, why have a fucking enquiry If you want it fixed? Why spend that money? Just state that you have looked into it and it was all tickedy-boo? These cunts have no grasp at all how much a pound is worth, yet they are entrusted with the finances of the bloody country.

There is an inescapable truth here.Priti Patel 'bullying' report will not be published in full, Downing Street says
Labour slammed the Tories for 'an outrageous attempt to cover up' Priti Patel's actions after the report was already delayed by several monthswww.mirror.co.uk
If the report contained nothing that remotely incriminated or compromised Patel, they would be only too happy to have it released, and allow the whole business to be consigned to the dustbin of history.
Since they seem to be prepared to invest quite a lot of political capital in continuing to try to suppress it, the implication would seem to be that, whatever it contains, it must be worse than the reputational loss they're incurring by quite so blatantly trying to do so.
