It’s time to refresh everyone’s memory about Priti Patel’s Israeli trip done behind Theresa May’s back

Priti Patel insisted “Boris knew about the visit. The point is that the Foreign Office did know about this, Boris knew about [the trip]. It is not on, it is not on at all
Strange. She was at loggerheads with her then department and the Foreign Office too.

There seems to be a pattern emerging.

If the was so out in the open and official why did she pay for it? That is not normal. Pay for her family maybe, but herself?

This might explain why Johnson appointed her despite the reputation she was then garnering. And he is still defending her.

What does Not-So-Priti have on Boris Johnson?
It is well worth looking into that flagrant breach of protocol because of what it reveals about Patel’s attitude...with or without Johnson’s knowledge.

To Israeli officials her private visit would have seemed like a gift as they would know she was freelancing.
Lord Polak, Conservative Friends of Israel would’ve been fully acquainted with the significance of the people he accompanied her to meet - & that the plan would be to encourage dfID to cut aid to Palestine

& that Erdan was at the heart of Israel security, targeting foreign orgs.
You’re telling me she doesn’t “get” the sensitivities if Intelligeence and diplomacy.
