Incompetent - Johnson and Patel should both go

Why Theresa May should look to sack more ministers from her cabinet:

Priti Patel, minister for international development, on a supposed family holiday took on a spot of freelancing, sitting down for 12 meetings on a 13-day trip to Israel. Patel accompanied by Lord Polak, the president of Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI), a conservative lobbyist group, met with several Israeli businesspeople and politicians, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

When the meetings were first uncovered Patel proceeded to lie, telling The Guardian, Boris was made aware of the trip. It turns out, he wasn’t, and neither was Theresa May.

Reports also suggest Patel discussed Britain aiding the efforts of Israeli troops in the Golan Heights region, military action which Britain officially does not recognise.

Giving evidence to a foreign affairs committee, Boris Johnson, has subsequently endangered the life British journalist Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been wrongfully imprisoned in Iran for over 18 months, on false charges of spying.

Johnson in a statement to the committee said Zaghari-Ratcliffe: “was simply teaching people journalism” a claim her family and employers Thomson Reuters deny, saying she was merely visiting family, though the Iranian government have used Johnson’s claim to solidify their accusations, threatening a longer sentence for Zaghari-Ratcliffe.

Boris has refused to retract his statements, or confess his misreading of the case, but has assured everyone he didn’t actually mean Zaghari-Ratcliffe was teaching journalism, and he doesn’t believe teaching journalism is a crime.

Who should go:

Both.

Will they go?

No.

Why?

Theresa May

Apart from proving they’re wholly incapable of doing their jobs by, creating a diplomatic crisis, and endangering the life of a British citizens, Patel and Johnson have also, once again embarrassed the Prime Minister.

In the days of literally, and I mean literally any other prime minister, both Patel and Johnson would be struck from Government destined for a lifetime on the Backbenches, as political pariah. But, Theresa May is so terribly weak any such move could trigger the unravelling of her tiny majority, and the chance for Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party to push for another election.

Something You Gov suggest Labour would win.
