She was. She possibly would’ve been had Corbin been slightly more electable.

Show the chap in charge of the independent report on whether she broke the ministerial code on bullying finds she did. Johnson then reads it and says she didn't and the case is closed.

He has now resigned his position.

Unbelievable. 

[Cheese 873]

Ministerial Code obviously means fuck all. This government is the embodiment of "Do as I say, not as I do".

Maybe not, but Abbot isn't the home secretary.

 

She was at one point, or at least held a shadow cabinet position.

I dont mind Patel, a lot of it is paper/media talk and the usual whitch hunt in some circles. She deserves time.

Her hands are tied at the moment with regards to immigration, once Brexit is complete or done or over, I'm sure she will start cracking on with business. I imagine some dont like like her because she doesnt suit their BAME narrative, unlike the Lammys of this world.

Such a shame that Shadow Home Secretary is there to ask searching questions of the Home Secretary to ensure things are done correctly.
 

Abbott would have no clue that Pritti Patel has no clue.

Abbot would be sat there with odd shoes on counting on her abacus, now she was and is thick as pig shit!

Bloody lovely thread this.

So the solution to illegal immigration is drowning people. Mothers and babies included of course. 

And anyone who is bullied in the workplace is just a woke snowflake who needs to man the fuck up. 

If in place, I wonder if those policies would make this country a safer and more prosperous place to live in ten years.

Happy Friday ❄️

After many years of posting on here, I find, when you’re unable to split the difference between sarcastic response and serious response, wait a while for someone else to take a nibble at the bait and see where it goes.

Or just chomp away and potentially get called out for not having the same opinion or a sense of humour.

I have met many people in work who cover a lack of ability and intelligence with table thumping and bullying. The anecdotal evidence leads me to believe she is one of them.

I once was at a firm when a new MD was appointed. He ruled by fear, without doubt had a negative effect personel.  Seemed to like putting people on edge or putting them down (I was young at the time and he had a sarcy pop at me after I'd 'discovered' something as part of my work in the labs).

An absolute de-motivator.

However, at the same time I'd been let down by the company secretary etc and not been put into the company pension scheme, and lost entitled contributions. Basically other folk not doing their job.

In the end I had no option but to report it, the same MD listened and by the end of the day the payments I was entitled to were sorted.

So a fair bloke, yes. A cunt yes. Capable- overall don't know as he was only there for a few months!

No she doesn't, an independent inquiry has found her guilty of not adhering to ministerial codes. That's been ignored.

No other ministers have been let off with similar findings.

An incompetent, out of her depth, over promoted bully.

Future PM that geezer, David Lammy.

Will succeed Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer one day.

All the bigots will be apoplectic but will be totally powerless to do owt.

First black PM.

How do you know she's out of her depth, have you worked with her, do you know the department she works in ?

Kwarsi Kwarteng in a better position. 

Rishi Sunak better still.

If either of them fancy the job.

Then I'm glad it was just sarcasm 👍

Maybe with folk drowning week in week out I failed to see the funny side in it. Probably just makes me a wetwipe though 😁

Advice noted though MickyD.

Rishi Sunak will be the first non-Caucasian PM 

Probably a lot sooner than he thinks

Rishi Sunak ain't black...

Lammy would wipe the floor with Kwarsi.

I've put a score on at Ladbrokes on Lammy leading our country as first black PM before the end of the decade. 20/1.

[Youri McAnespie 761]

Then you welsh when incumbent PM Lammy heads to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen due to sour grapes? I'll stick with Ladbrokes 😉.

It's going to happen.

Sir Kier will only do one term imo.
