AIBU to be wondering where Priti Patel is...

[FritataPatate]

.......during this time of crisis. Home Secretary?
And for that matter. not heard from Rees-Mogg for a while.
Thankfully.

No Pritti today.

Matt Hancock

I don’t think she’ll ever be allowed to do it. Shame, I was really looking forward to it.

In all fairness to the Tories, I wouldn't let her do it if I were them.

Yes, but I'm sure she'll claim her extra £10k (a month?) expenses in full, for doing bugger all, like most of them. Have any MPs stood up and said they'd refuse to take it, or would be donating to charity at this time while they're all at home - first or second home, who knows? Most of them don't seem to be doing anything else and I'm sure they're all on full salary.

Nor would I but that does rather beg the question as to what business she has to be Home Secretary.

She's surfaced

Good grief... the Govt. clearly reads MUMSNET.

And clearly MNers are great judges of situations.....

A) that was a shit show

B) she smirked a lot! And

C) the journalists were clearly gunning for her and using her as a scapegoat (has anyone else been asked to apologise for deaths of NHS staff?) and trying to wind her up after all that's been said about her having a temper.

Tbf, she did better than I was expecting.

Stick a handprint in your window to help the victims of domestic abuse? That's going to help. Twat.

that barrel must be getting very very empty - not sure there's much left to be scraped out of it tbh...
Awful excuse for a politician.

I cringed when she said "Martin and myself will update you..." Is it too much to expect basic literacy from the Home Secretary, FFS?

And "I am working every day ....three days a week."

Priti Shitti

The she said she's working 7 days a week and 3 of those are cabinet meetings. I took from that the other 4 days she was reading the mountains of scientific evidence they are sent to prepare for the meetings. That's certainly what it sounded like.

Thick as mince. I want her to enunciate her “g”. Sleepin, walkin, workin, talkin. Fuck me.

That irks me too. It’s like fingernails on a blackboard.

They gave her one where I guess they knew there would be low ratings - Sunday, everyone's out in their gardens and preoccupied. Was still awful tho, no compassion whatsoever

Kimchilala.....it's Saturday but the middle of a long weekend.....

She did make a lot of promises about DV victims so whe the hate?

@Alsohuman, doesn’t it? Am I being a snob? It’s infuriating.

If you’re a snob, I am too. It does my head in.

where are the tory supporters? I'd like one of them to explain the three hundred thousand thirty four nine hundred and seventy four thousand figure?
Cos, you know, Diane Abbott...

It’s Numberwang.

My favourite moment was when the sound failed. You could see her horrified expression... ", Shiiiit"

What was that nonsense about a spiffy new sign with a heart showing that they really care about DV victims?

@JudyCoolibar exactly that.. nonsense!
