It’s 20 years since I had to ask a PR firm to remove Priti Patel from the account of the conservation charity I was running because she was so rude to our junior staff, and I see she is still being uninvited to meetings even now she holds one of the great offices of state.

Let's talk about Priti Patel.
She worked for the PR consultancy Weber Shandwick for several years, as part of which she lobbied for big tobacco, & as an MP she voted to overturn the smoking ban.

Patel was critical of the UK's decision to invest funds to support the Palestinian territories & in October 2016 she ordered a review of the overseas funding procedure, temporarily freezing approximately a third of Britain's aid to the Palestinians.
In November 2017, the news broke that Patel had held up to a dozen meetings in Israel in August 2017 without telling the Foreign Office. She was accompanied by Lord Polak, honorary president of Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI), while Patel was on a "private holiday".
