The ongoing stupidity of Home Secretary Priti Patel

She never answers the fucking question



Does she stand out from any other member of the cabinet in that regard? Williamson was on the radio this morning, and was putting the "Well what we need to remember is" machine into overdrive. Even Nick "Young Tory" Robinson was exasperated.

Nah, they don't answer the question because they don't want to. Patel doesn't answer the question because she doesn't understand the question.
 
Is she making some kind of move at present? First there was that "I wanted to close the borders" thing on Tuesday, then there is that admission of mismanagement (of course it wasnt her mismanagement), and now there is "we wanted to tag people to ensure they kept to the foreign travel quarantine".
Perhaps she (and/or her backers) think Johnson is on the ropes. Thing is, she'd be dumb enough to make a pass for the leadership, and end up as no more than a stalking horse. We can hope, at least.
 
Patel will take it as a compliment that she never answers a question and wear it as a badge of honour.
All of the politicians we've got think it's a complete triumph that they are known for not actually answering any questions. They'll think it shows ninja skills and wily cunning to not tell us thickos anything and to show those badgering guttersnipe journos who's boss. Alas.

It has always been this way, as long as I remember. What used to be different was questions in the house of commons when answers had to be made, hence the pmqs being televised was a step forward. Now that is just as poor, the current speaker is not up to it and we're left with waffle and avoidance.
 

All Patel has to say is " The damage and destruction to Napier Barracks is not only appaling but deeply offensive to the taxpayers of this country"

She's such a nasty piece of work.
You wouldn't know that from your link which doesn't quote her
