Well it ain’t ‘pretty’ Patel is it?! First there were delays with the Homes For Ukraine scheme, insisting on visas for children.

More recently, deporting a man to America whose only crime was to expose truths in their political system.

Worst of all, an unworkable Rwanda system for refugees that stands little chance of long-term success.

Of course she has the support of all anti-foreigner nationalists in the Tory party who have no respect for Britain’s long history of giving succour to those threatened with abuse, torture and execution in other countries where the UK had a long track record of imperialist exploitation.

What the reality of this misbegotten policy is if you like ‘reverse slavery’.

She now wants this country ‘out’ of the European Court of Human Rights (not anything to do with the EU) simply because it disagrees with her dangerous policy on Rwanda and immigration.

I remember Priti Patel several years ago at a public meeting in Dorchester with Billy Bragg, about electoral reform.

She was dismissive and tone deaf to any arguments opposing her own, just as she remains today.

It’s no good fantasising about her resigning in the next two years. No-one in this Government does!

One can only hope that people decide at the next Election to rid us all of this God-forsaken Tory Government – including all those Conservative voters here in Dorset.

Who knows, the electors of Witham in Essex might decide to turf her out! Hope springs eternal!
