Priti pickle

Criticism of Priti Patel for her ‘holiday’ was all over the BBC yesterday, even partially eclipsing other  sensational news, and I couldn’t help wondering, like esteemed commenter “deegee”…..

……whether the BBC was being more antisemitic than was absolutely necessary. 

Needless to say, Tweets praising the merits of James Landale's investigative journalism  have attracted a predictable type of fly.

However, it seems that esteemed commenter “Pounce” has the low-down on the matter.



It truly was a matter of ministerial code. But did James Landale need to actually slavver over it?

Update.

Labour seems to think the way to get Jeremy Corbyn into Number Ten is to knock the Tory cabinet down one by one like skittles.

“Did she have any meetings on the Palestinian side because she of course will appreciate the importance, as a Middle East minister, of a wholly balanced approach to the ME peace process, not a one-sided one. 

[…] and if we had a PM who wasn’t so weak both (Priti+Boris) of them would have been sacked.

I’d love to know how many times a call for the “Israeli side to be heard” have been uttered by Ben Bradshaw when a member of his own party has brought up some Palestinian grievance or other in the house.
