It’s the home secretary’s trickiest week since her’ holiday’ in Israel, but at least she’s discernible. Where’s the prime minister?
According to the representatives from one of her former districts, Priti Patel was given to coming out of her place and asking: “Why is everyone so fucking useless? ” Very bold.
