Priti Patel the Bully?

West London

The Home Office Permanent Secretary has quit and will bring a claim of constructive dismissal against the government.

How bad a manager does Priti Patel have to be for things to get to this?

He's no fool. He would not do this so publicly without an airtight case and a sack load of evidence.

It will be interesting to see just how brazen this government will be under these circumstances.

Let's see how his case goes before we pass judgement. I am sure everyone appearing before a tribunal thinks that their case is water tight. It may be that the defence is water tight as well .

He is simply a civil servant who can be replaced. Priti Patel is the Home Secretary. She should be admired for standing up to unelected civil servants. If they do not like their role they can leave.

The government were elected with a landslide majority and we want ministers such as Priti Patel who refuse to be bullied by career driven civil servants.

It’s hard to take seriously words like ‘unelected’ when this govt. are making peers of people like Zac Goldsmith so he can continue his sycophantic ways.

To be totally honest, he needs to man the fuck up. If I was in a job for 33 years then started sulking because I got criticised, left the job, then started proceedings to sue my ex employer I wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror.

I'd say that no matter who the alegation was against.

No doubt she is. I'd still fuck her though, might cheer her up a bit

Ha! Did you read the article?

I'll guess no

The government are already facing one unfair dismissal case with the former Chancellor's advisor.

The Home Secretary can also "simply be replaced". Have you not noticed that happening before?

The Permanent Secretary has a specific title. Can you see a clue?

He clearly did not like the conditions under which he was working and has left. That is rather the point. He's just intending to so something about those conditions.

You are quite right. We will wait and see and as I said I fully expect the government to try to brazen it out.

Lots of guessing eh?

Read the article as to why he left. You don't need to guess

I've seen toxic managers at work. Charming to those above and at the same level.

Patel does not actually seem to manage this though.

Nasty and bullying to subordinates. Someone who aspires to the behaviour "The Thick of It" rather than viewing it as parody.

Perhaps that's a style that you admire but it destroys people and teams and companies.

"Manning up" is not a thing that anyone should have to do except in a warzone or a crisis.

This govt. are totally dysfunctional. Cummings in charge in all but name. Johnson’s girlfriend with a 6 figure salaried ‘advisor’ for whatever unknown reason, civil servants openly revolting, while the PM jets around on holiday.

80 seat majority or not - this government isn’t lasting a full term.

Actually, I read the briefings against Sir Philip Rutman as well.

So both sides looked at. Have you done as much?

I've already said that we will see how this pans out.

I've never reported you so you should perhaps moderate your tone. Sweetie

Lets see what the outcome is the guys been in the job 33 years so maybe time for a new face, people who stay to long seem to go stale and maybe the extra workload with brexit has tipped him over the edge.Very easy to blame a new boss instead of saying there's to much work to be done.

It's not just him though. That could be argued away.

It is also Javid's advisor and other members of the Home Office.

If you are making people cry and swearing at them then you should not be in post.

The Home Office is vast. If you are unable to delegate it and cannot accept that things in an organisation and a country such as this will take time to put in place then you will fail.

Depends what's being demanded. Depends if it's achievable. Depends if it's one of those people who "doesn't want answers just solutions" as if denial of reality delivers a desired outcome.

Exactly now you are getting it solutions not problems and you never know what is achievable unless you try.Nobody has ever achieved anything by saying its impossible.A can do attitude is what we need.

"I wonder why people of long-standing within the office and outside it have issues with her?

Only they know that.You never had a new boss come in and not got on with them? i know i have.

I wonder if being a woman of a different background riles them and others up?

Perhaps, perhaps not. It doesn't seem that this is a specific personality clash though. It seems rather more widespread.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/feb/29/priti-patel-how-bullying-allegations-unfolded

I wouldn’t regard the Guardian as balanced same as the daily mail and it’s counter briefing claims

I’m sure the truth will out.

I was just about to say the same hardly a balanced view but guess its hard for a no can do person to work with a can do person.

Did you actually read it?

Read the article in The Mail then, or the original one in The Times about her behaviour.

The Guardian just gave a neat summary of the timeline that does not appear anywhere else.

It seems hard for much of the Home Office to work with her "can do attitude" Much of it how many resigned?

You don't have to resign to find someone hard to work with.True but if you are the boss and someone cant achieve what you want you find someone who can its not rocket science.

Depends what's being demanded. Depends if it's achievable. Depends if it's one of those people who "doesn't want answers just solutions" as if denial of reality delivers a desired outcome.Exactly now you are getting it solutions not problems and you never know what is achievable unless you try.Nobody has ever achieved anything by saying its impossible.A can do attitude is what we need."

Sure. It's all you need. No planning or foreseeing potential problems. No resourcing or risk management.

Just do. Hilarious

Priti Patel has the same problem Trump does; she thinks she knows everything and she can't abide being told "No".

She's been Home Secretary for less than three months.

The civil servants who have been there for years understand what her job is far better than she does.

So, when they tell her, from their extensive experience, that what she wants may not be possible; she rants and swears and blames everyone else.

This sort of "shit boss syndrome" is commonplace, of course.

It's not ideal in a Home Secretary, though.

However, I do think Sir Philip made a mistake resigning. He should have stayed, to protect us from her incompetence.

Ah so you're pro women. Interesting. Are you conflicted by her being a woman, and also brown? Or can you overlook her skin colour because she's a conservative who also doesn't understand climate change?

I know. Those bastard right wing Tories giving a woman of ethnic heritage such a high powered position and treating her with equality.

Good job there are people about, all seem to be left wing, who are here to slate her who would prefer her not to be successful. I always say the left are the most intolerant.

"Let's see how his case goes before we pass judgement. I am sure everyone appearing before a tribunal thinks that their case is water tight. It may be that the defence is water tight as well .

He is simply a civil servant who can be replaced. Priti Patel is the Home Secretary. She should be admired for standing up to unelected civil servants. If they do not like their role they can leave.

The government were elected with a landslide majority and we want ministers such as Priti Patel who refuse to be bullied by career driven civil servants. "

Yet the unelected Dominic Cummings is pulling all the strings....

Let's be honest, giving a ministerial job to someone that knowingly broke the ministerial code, over meetings with senior figures within a foreign government, less than 3 years ago was a mistake. In years gone by, she wouldn't have a hope of getting another big job in government. Due to the nature of our political culture however, she was rewarded and essentially given a promotion. That's before we mention her being humiliated publicly on question time and her suggesting we should use the no-deal consequences on Ireland, which could include food shortages in Ireland, as a bargaining chip to secure a better deal with the EU.

Someone like that should not be anywhere near government, whatever you think about the allegations. It is, however, unprecedented that a high-ranking civil servant should speak out like this, it would be astonishing if he turned out be telling anything other than the truth. If his claims turn out to not be credible, the consequences on the civil service will be severe. They will, I assume, be far worse than they will be for the government if it turns out his claims are credible. One way or another she'll lose her job but in a few years be allowed back to serve in the cabinet. Just like she was last time, just like Liam Fox was and just like Chris Grayling has been after his repeated failures. But then again, if we elected the most incompetent of them all as prime minister, what do we expect? Do we deserve better? I'm inclined to think not.

What started this was Priti Patel allegedly bullying her staff.

The consequence is that this was leaked to The Times.

As the press don't name sources any leak is based on any individual's willingness to risk prosecution.

If they speak to the press outside working hours it's really quite difficult to prevent. When multiple people do it about the same subject them there is likely to be a problem.

How would you suggest this is "prevented"?

In general leaks only happen because people feel strongly about something inappropriate happening.

Most "leaks" are briefings by ministers and special advisors for political gain. This practice has become significantly more frequent under the last few Conservative governments. They have set the tone.

What happened to wait and see? You seem to have decided that he is incompetent and has to go.

"I think the left leaning media, and the labour party, really can't stand the fact that the Tories are a much more inclusive party than labour. "

Which left leaning media is this? The majority of the print press in the UK are right-wing, with the few notable exceptions being the mirror and the Guardian/Observer. Though I should stress the Guardian/Observer isn't really that left-leaning, they are generally just liberal, much like the television stations, which are neither left nor right. The Mirror is traditionally Labour but being a tabloid, this is sometimes more subtle. The one genuinely left-wing newspaper is the morning star, though I would argue it's more a vehicle for the promotion of Kremlin propaganda than covering the news. The BBC's shocking policy when it comes to 'balance' means people who are part of 'think tanks' often get given the same platform as actual experts. Kate Andrews only a couple of days ago suggested we should stop using expressions like 'climate emergency' as it 'turns people off'. No attempt was made by the presenter to suggest we arw facing an emergency and pretending we aren't in one is downright stupid. Nigel Farage once had a more secure seat on BBCQT than everyone but the former presenter. When this country still had MEPs and UKIP was still vaguely relevant, their MEPs were far more likely to appear on the BBC's flagship evening political programme than MEPs from all of the other political parties, including those with representation in Westminster. I welcome any examples of what you call the left-leaning media but if you're going to suggest being liberal makes you left-leaning, you're just not being at all accurate.

She's a great role model for all who believe that being thick and nasty are all that is required to climb the greasy pole.

Yes im sure it was that, she couldn't possibly be good at her job....

So good at her previous job she was sacked. In a normal world, she would never have ever got another job in cabinet. This is a post truth world where norms no longer hold.

So you are against a female from an ethnic background climbing the career ladder. I am sure people can come to their own conclusions on that one.

There it is

What has her ethnic background or gender got to do with if she bullies people and briefs against her own staff?

Please provide examples."

For me her gender and background has nothing to do with it, it is her ability. Infortunately, left thinking people have a real issue with women in power or people from an ethic back ground. They only like the privledged middle aged white male. There is no getting away from that.

"I think the left leaning media, and the labour party, really can't stand the fact that the Tories are a much more inclusive party than labour.

Always have been and always will be more inclusive than labour. 2 women PMs, the cabinet with lots of women , people with a Jewish heritage background , Muslims , Hindus , Buddhists etc etc"

For 2019:

Labour and the LibDems have more than 50% of their MPs as female. The Conservative party is under 25%.

Labour has 20% ethnic minority representation. 6% for the Conservative party.

You are just plain wrong except for LGBT where the Conservative party has the largest absolute number, although proportionally they are lower.

Have fun with that

Her ability with respect to having already been removed from office for inappropriate behaviour and what appear to be systemic allegations of bullying, briefing against a senior civil servant and then lying about it?

Actually, the context was about party.

"...the Tories are a much more inclusive party than labour.

Always have been and always will be more inclusive than labour..."

Saying that a very narrow subset of the Conservative party (Cabinet) is more inclusive is quite disengenuous.

Unsurprisingly, the usual suspects are missing the point. She's incompetent and not intelligent enough to do the job.

No reason she shouldn't have been given the opportunity - she's no more of a liar or charlatan than the rest of the cabinet - but she really is unfit for high office; which will become more and more apparent until she finally resigns.

And by resign, I mean told to come to Number 10 and made to understand she has no choice in the matter. Just like she had to last time.

She was forced to resign because she failed to disclose meetings she had in Israel to the foreign office M. Why did you think she did this? Why wasn’t she aware of the ‘ministerial code of conduct’ ? Why did the Prime Minister force her to resign. If you can answer those questions then It will answer yours

"On what assumption do you make her not intelligent enough to do the job?"

Firstly, I notice you didn't question my "assumption" that she's incompetent. You deserve credit for that, I suppose.

As for not being intelligent enough, that's not an assumption either. She isn't.

Intelligent people don't shout and scream at their employees - especially if they're trying to get the best out of them.

Intelligent people ask for advice from more experienced staff before making decisions; rather than calling them "fucking useless" when they don't carry out instructions that aren't possible.

She is the embodiment of the Dunning–Kruger effect.

As are many of the contributors in this forum.

The Mail is reporting this in the same way, as is The Sun.

Carry on as you are though

The fact remains. Tories are more inclusive than labour. "

Rubbish. There are more MPs from ethnic minorities in the Labour Party (41) than in the Tory Party (22). There are more women MPs representing Labour than represent the Tories. In fact more than 50% of all Labour Mps are women. How does that make the Tories more inclusive?

There is both a Ministerial code of conduct and a Civil Service code of conduct. They are both in place to ensure that the civil service delivers government policy but can also make ministers aware of all the problems and issues with whatever policy they want to implement. If PP is guilty of bullying behaviour it means she is not listening to the advice of her civil servants and therefore is likely to make ill-judged decisions.

She may survive in post. The good news is that this row has neutered her. She's going to have to treat people who know better than she does with respect. Perhaps she may find that it's easier than she thought; and a more effective way to do her job?

I suppose we'll find out. Eventually.

She worked in Conservative Central Office for several years.

Then she worked in PR and lobbying for tobacco and alcohol companies.

She has schmoozed so is good with peers and superiors.

She has not managed people. That seems to show. One of very few rules of management is not publicly chastising anyone in your team. It's done in private. If you are in charge then it's publicly your failure.

It would be interesting to see what those junior to her before politics thought about her. We may find out.

Rarely have I seen the race card and the sex card played so quickly in a discussion. Well done on that achievement

So I guess all the accounts of nasty behaviour by Patel are lies? Or they're all driven by racism and sexism?

The role of Heads of Departments is to get the best out of the assets that you have.

There are good reasons why it is now illegal for new employers to fire (or constructively dismiss) old employees when they take over a Company.

Employees are people- not machines and it is quite right that people are treated fairly and humanely and accepting that not everyone can or will work 80 hours a week for “the cause.”

"Is there strikes and out still a political"thing"?

Patel has run three government departments and been called out for bullying in all of them.

That would appear to be a trend.

Maybe she just thinks as the minister she is in charge and wont take a load of bull from employees who think they are in charge.

Hmmm maybe it is the fault of the bullied for getting bullied.

It's pretty simple so let me explain it.

He claims he was bullied, she says he wasnt. No one as yet knows which side is closer to the truth.

It's not one person though.

It is several people in several departments.

That is a trend.

Other than below the radar chatter that indicates she has some form in this kind of thing.

There is no chance that this would have got as far as it has, had there not been smoke from previous fires. We know from the way that politics and the media works that there is much more to this story than last weeks resignation.

The issue for Johnson now is whether he allows the tribunal to go ahead and air all of the dirty laundry or he fires Patel and pays off the Covil Servant to avoid undue scrutiny of Patel and subsequently the Government.

If she killed herself, you can just imagine the claims of "nothing to do with us!" From the press and civil service! Flack all over again... they do not learn once they smell blood.

A conspiracy by the entire civil service in various departments against one person?

"Incompetence" by the civil service in doing what? Only in the departments she happens to be running.

Who would take the time and effort to orchestrate this Machiavellian plot and to what dire purpose?

There is no other indication of this. Correct?

My guess is she will stay in post.

An alien impersonating her is also a "theory".

I have provided you with exactly the sam level of motive and organisation as you did for a ministry spanning conspiracy

If people think that multiple departments of the civil service can collude in a conspiracy they have not worked in the civil service.

It can’t do joined up thinking when it absolutely has to let alone in times like this.

Funnily enough, no.

However, I am inclined to believe the BBC when they state that they have seen documentation.

You have noticed how much trouble they get into of they are not completely above board with these things right?

Unlike "allies of Priti Patel". The Telegraph can report what they said without verifying if it's true or not.

Cute little trick eh?

I noticed the far right no longer describe people who stand up to them as "snowflakes". It's now more you've been "triggered".

Long may people stand up for themselves and in defiance of the the authority figures who seek to oppress and subjugate ordinary people. "Snowflake" or "triggered" can be worn as a badge of honour for people who don't take the bullshit they try to feed us.

The astonishing thing about PP is that she was allowed to resurrect her failed political career, having demonstrated appalling disloyalty to the government

Wouldn't it be fantastic to have people in authority we could respect and admire, instead of recoil from in horror ?

Can't argue with the last paragraph. For decades we've had career politicians totally detached from ordinary people.
