[31] Patel lodged a complaint with the BBC alleging one-sided coverage critical of Narendra Modi on the eve of his victory in 2014 Indian elections. Some sections of the media reported her comments as a suggestion that Britain should exploit Ireland's fear of damage to its economy and food shortages to advance its position with the EU. "[21], In the 2005 general election, Patel stood as the Conservative candidate for Nottingham North, losing to the incumbent Labour MP Graham Allen. [27] Together, they co-authored Britannia Unchained, a book published in 2012. In the days after Patel's meeting with the Prime Minister and public apology, there were further revelations about her contacts with Israel, including details of two more undisclosed meetings with Israeli officials in Westminster and New York in September 2017,[63] that Patel had not disclosed when she met the Prime Minister on 6th. She worked for Weber Shandwick for three years. Although these hospitals have been described by the British Prime Minister's official spokesman as "provid[ing] medical support for Syrian refugees",[56] Israeli officials have refused to identify who they treat in them, and whether they are regime forces, rebels or civilians.[57]. The stuff that is out there is it, as far as I am concerned. [73], Patel was appointed Home Secretary by Boris Johnson in July 2019. He is also a Conservative councillor and Cabinet Member for Communities on the council of the London Borough of Bexley. The article also quoted internal documents specifying that a part of Patel's job was also to lobby MEPs against EU tobacco regulations. As far as I am concerned, the Foreign Office have known about this. Home Secretary Priti Patel has been a visible figure as part of the Government’s fight against the coronavirus. [109], In 2020, The Guardian caused controversy after it published a cartoon depicting her as a cow with a ring in its nose in an alleged reference to her Hindu faith, since cows are considered sacred in Hinduism. It is quite extraordinary. The team had been tasked with helping BAT manage the company's public image during the controversy around the Burma factory being used as source of funds by its military dictatorship and poor payment to factory workers. [76], In February 2020, Patel launched a points-based immigration system, which will take effect from 1 January 2021. Patel met Yair Lapid, the leader of Israel's centrist Yesh Atid party, and reportedly made visits to several organisations where official departmental business was discussed. Inspired to get involved in politics by Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, she was initially involved with the Referendum Party before switching allegiance to the Conservatives.
