Common sense and law and order? That cannot be Priti Patel as she was forced to resign for an illegal contact with Israel. No law and order there, nor common sense.
In her resignation letter, Ms Patel said her actions "fell below the standards of transparency and openness that I have promoted and advocated".

If that's common sense, then we need to redefine the word.
They are paid supporters. They are not members. There is a difference.

What she did was have some unauthorised meetings with some Israeli ministers whilst on holiday . Apparently this was because she will looking into the possibility of giving a small amount of foreign aid money to Israel to help it increase its medical budget when dealing with injured Syrians in the Golen heights
What she did was unauthorised so a big no no but I think it was done with good intentions. There was no suggestion she was going to personally gain financially from any arrangement. Also and important to remember that Israel is a close ally of the UK and has been for years , they regularly share intelligence information at govt level . It would have been far far worse had she had any unauthorised meetings with any countries that were not friendly allies .

A very sympathetic take. But even at its best this was an astonishing lapse in judgement from someone in high office who had her eyes fixed on even higher office?

I agree it was a big lapse of judgement. Even with allies you can’t just go off and have meetings without following correct procedures.
No. They are not. It's really not difficult to understand this.
I wonder how those who would defend Patel from the accusations of bullying reacted to the bullying accusations levelled at Gordon Brown or John Bercow?

I'm still waiting for those examples of me saying Patel should be sacked because she's an Asian woman BTW, I assume you have them else you'll withdraw your insinuation?
