Priti Patel takes herself too seriously and that’s why this blunder is so satisfying

Gone is the trademark smirk: perhaps Ms Patel doesn’t think it’s funny when she makes a stupid mistake.

This is so funny I can’t let it pass by.

    I thought I read about this somewhere over the last weekend….I wasn’t fully awake and thought it was a satirical piece at the time of reading, but it turns out she actually DID say it…
