A letter was in the Telegraph today – signed by 100 Patel allies from business, politics and academia (including the former charity commission chief, William Shawcross) – denouncing the bullying accusations as ‘smears’; saying when working with the Home Secretary she “never crossed the line or lost her temper”, and is the target of a “campaign of gossip, smears and malicious gossip by anonymous individuals who have failed to produce any verifiable facts.”

Interesting that when aluded to on question time lasr night, the audience cheered in her support.
Counter to the pundit class, the public seems to be rallying behind her…
