Nick Thomas-Symonds – 2020 Comments on the Behaviour of Priti Patel

The comments made by Nick Thomas-Symonds, the Shadow Home Secretary, on 19 November 2020.

These revelations could not be more serious.

This has all the hallmarks of a cover up from the Prime Minister and raises fundamental questions about his judgement.

His actions are all but condoning bullying in the workplace. In any other area of life this would not be acceptable. Yet again, it seems to be one rule for them and another for everyone else.

The report needs to be published in full immediately and both the Prime Minister and Home Secretary must come before Parliament to answer questions on this mess.
