So. Smirkypants isn't really a bully, because when she bullies she isn't aware of anything amiss. Gotcha.

Has anyone a copy of the ministerial code? Priti Patel has, yet again, driven a coach and horses through hers.

We shouldn’t be surprised after seeing the way the Home Secretary has attempted to bully some of the world’s most vulnerable people risking their lives to try and find safety – and anyone sticking up for their legal rights

That certainly wasn’t unintentional

In conclusion, Tom Peck spotted the precedent the government just – unintentionally – set.

Well this is great news for anyone who pitches up to Dover in a dinghy. Just tell @pritipatel it was an accident and you’re in the clear.
