Home Secretary Priti Patel
The Home Secretary has defended the decision to leave London for a meet and greet with police officers, saying it was part of her “statutory duties”.
Priti Patel said it was wrong to compare her journey to Hertfordshire and the Prime Minister’s trip to Scotland during the pandemic with foreign travel made by so-called influencers.
The Home Secretary has repeatedly criticised those who appeared to be using their fame for creating content on social media as an excuse simply to go on holiday.
She spent just over an hour in Bishop’s Stortford on Thursday afternoon, where she met six new recruits, a chief constable, neighbourhood beat officers and local Tory MP Julie Marson.

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Scottish nationalists on Thursday to stop talking “endlessly” about a new independence referendum, saying most people wanted to see Britain “bouncing back more strongly together” after the COVID-19 pandemic eases.
On a trip to Scotland to try to stem growing support for another referendum, Johnson opted for a blunt message, saying independence supporters had their chance in 2014 in a vote they had agreed at the time was “a once-in-a-generation event”.
The bonds that tie England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland together in a $3 trillion economy have been severely strained by both Britain’s exit from the European Union and Johnson’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak.
