Patel is the former secretary of state for international development, despite having expressed the opinion that it should be abolished. She no longer has that post because of undeclared meetings with Israeli politicians while she was supposed to be on holiday.

Meetings with foreign politicians are supposed to be reported to the foreign office if you are a member of the government for obvious reasons. But Patel did not declare these meetings, which was rather concerning as among other meetings she met with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

After Patel then misled the government and media about the number of meetings and their content, she was forced to resign her position.

Most recently Patel has caused controversy by implying that the UK should use the potential of economic harm to Ireland to give the UK leverage in negotiations to leave the EU. Unfortunately for her, this showed historical ignorance as this had connotations that reminded many of the potato famine when Britain allowed Ireland to starve instead of providing aid to its closest territory.

The prominent, pro-tobacco Politician also wants to make Britain like Singapore so most kids will finish School at 13, you won't get a vote until your 21 and living costs will rise even more than now with no social safety net.
