... to think that Priti Patel doesn't sound very nice?

Daily Mail link, but I'm listening to it on BBC Radio 5. It sounds as if Priti Patel is facing lots of complaints because of the way she treats people. Combine that with her politics, and she just doesn't come across very pleasantly. Can she last in her job treating people like this (assuming it is true).

Sir Humphrey was offered a generous settlement and an NDA, but has chosen to go to a tribunal risking it all.

He must have some good recordings.

To be fair, he isn’t risking it all. He’ll get his 33 years worth of pension regardless and pick up some nice lucrative non exec directorships.

Patel as party leader? Not if they ever want to be elected again.

She seems unpleasant from what has been said about her, but then I suppose I have never met her, so can't really judge. They seem to like nasty, incompetent and deluded people in that role though, so who knows? It probably is true.

Where are all the cabinet ministers? They are like ghosts. Are they nocturnal? We never see any of them anymore, which is hardly surprising since they are all as thick as mince and seem to find buttering toast exhausting.

On the rare occasion we do see them in the public eye I can't help but have the Apprentice theme tune on loop in my head. They really are like all the Appentice candidates that end up getting fired before before week 4.

Oh well... BoJo has managed to get his girlfriend up the duff and has got engaged... good ruse to divert attention from the ghastly PP

Bullying which is what much of this behaviour sounds like is not ok whether you’re male or female.

Fed up of distraction politics (Boris & his baby#6). Why are we treated as if we have the attention span of gnats?

Go Sir Philip, it’s so refreshing for someone in the public arena to act with integrity and bravery. I hope he takes Priti Patel down. And, no, I’m not picking on her because she’s female and Asian. Just fucking sick of this bullying Government.

Plenty of female Asians cannot stand Priti Useless.
She is also corrupt to the core, look at her history. How she has had such high profile jobs with her record is truly frightening.
I sincerely hope she is taken down for good and disappears into the ether.

She is in a male world being ruthless is fine for males and considered at top level politics to be a necessity for some roles so women have to be too and fight agains misogyny It isn't all right for males, John Bercow has been accused of bullying and they are investigating it.

John Reid was a horrible bully. Other Home Secretaries including Alan Johnson, Theresa May, Amber Rudd and Sajid Javid have been totally professional.

Is it by any chance, Priti 'lets starve the Irish' Patel we're talking about?

She has no warmth, empathy or compassion about her, as an Asian female of a similar age I feel very disappointed in her!

Is it by any chance, Priti 'lets starve the Irish' Patel we're talking about?

It is, aka Priti “let’s bring back the death penalty” Patel.

Yes go Sir Philip I agree.

I especially respect that he is choosing not to take cash behind doors, but to air this out in the open in a legal court. This is such a valid course of action, if bullying, ambition and sloppy aggression has dominated, then he is going to expose it to proper scrutiny and not play their silly bullying games.

Is it by any chance, Priti 'lets starve the Irish' Patel we're talking about?

Or possibly the Priti Patel who had to resign as secretary of state for International Development when it emerged she had forgotten to mention to the prime minister or the Foreign Office her unofficial meetings with Israeli officials.....

Has everyone forgotten that bizarre OJ-style return flight she had. Being tracked on radar with odds on whether she'd have a job when she landed ?

She is hired to be professional and shouting, swearing and bullying staff who are experienced and there to support her is not a sign that she is competent or professional.
Never mind, Johnson to the rescue, his announcement of yet another baby and engagement was announced just before the showdown announcement by Rutland. This senior home office civil servant is going to sue the government for constructive dismissal. Let it all come out.

On Twitter now. She was at DWP four years ago.

Over-promoted: Priti Principle

I was thinking this today. She sounds like every stereotype of an awful woman boss.

It feels like the furore when she was brought back in has been forgotten a little... and no surprise, now here’s another bad headline.

Or just an awful boss. Nothing to do with being a woman ffs.

She is awful. Everytime I see her smug, smirking face on TV I have this indescribable sense of anger appear.

Matt Hancock infuriates me too. Has to wear an NHS badge so he remembers what department he works in 🤦‍♀️

And don't get me started on Liz Truss. Cheese anyone??

Wtf. Why not just an awful boss.

Heard Nigel Farage approvingly defending her on the radio. That tells you all you need to know about her.

Liz Truss is on BBC at the moment. She is totally out of her depth, and is trying to sound tough when talking about fishing waters. It isn't working

The levels of ignorance displayed by members of current government are frightening. Without the Civil Service to bring some knowledge and experience we'd all be screwed. So let's sack them all.
