Priti good

[vetran]

The government must have decided that they are liable to pay for her actions instead of hanging her out to dry.

The employer is on the hook regardless. Now if they had followed through and sacked Priti that would be acceptable unfortunately so few employers do. I suspect she will be reshuffled to the back benches.

They could have tried to argue they are only partly liable as they weren't aware of her actions and she is solely liable for the rest of it. (This is why employers send people on unconscious bias, diversity and whatever courses.) However it wouldn't work as Ms Patel has previous form.

I wouldn't count on it - there hasn't been much sign of any kind of censure of Priti from the government. She should never have been in the position in the first place, after her last sacking as foreign secretary, but they have a only a small pool of Boris/Brexit loyalists to choose from, so she'll probably stay.

Taxpayers pick the bill because the Minister was bullying on their behalf, it’s not pretty but it’s Priti...
