What's the legal situation of someone serving in the cabinet who has previously been accused of going, I think, behind the governments back to discuss topics?
Talking of Priti Patel, Quentin Letts in today's Times described her elevation to the post of Home Secretary as "a moped finding itself in the Isle of Man TT Races".

Maybe she can bring herself to mop up and unblock the Essex Police Federation...

Decent enough article here on the new Cabinet's who have links to lobbying companies and are going to bat for a hard Brexit for their corporate paymasters.

These scum get £141K p.a. of public cash as Cabinet Ministers to then go off and work for big business...who proceed to screw the public on an epic scale.
We need to drain our 'kin swamp, I know that.

The announcement politics of the Tories always never happen. Cameron vowed to 'tackle' poverty as did May. The buffoon will do the same, more announcement politics and lapped up by the MSM as if it's reality.
More than 4m in UK are trapped in deep poverty, study finds
"It found that of 14.3 million in the UK in poverty, 4.5 million were in deep poverty – a third of all those on the breadline, and 7% of the population. In cash terms this means a couple with two children would have an income of less than £211 a week after housing costs, and a single parent with one child would be on less than £101.50 a week.
The finding echoes wider concerns about the re-emergence of extreme poverty, known as destitution, which separate research has shown was experienced by an estimated 1.5 million people in the UK as a result of benefits cuts and high rents. A destitution level of income is £140 a week for a couple with two children.
Although overall rates of poverty have changed relatively little since 2000-01, certain groups – such as children, children of lone parents, and pensioners – have had hardship levels rise since 2013 as a result of austerity measures such as the benefit freeze, reversing earlier downward trends, the commission said.
There has been a dramatic rise in child poverty in families with three or more children, up 9% points since 2013-14. This is in part a result of policies that penalise larger families such as the benefit freeze. The figures do not capture the impact of the two-child benefit limit introduced in 2017, which is likely to push levels even higher"

Maybe Truss put in a good word for him.
It appears the Tory inquiry into Islamophobia has been conveniently buried.
