Priti Patel has apologised and been rebuked by Theresa May after admitting she gave a misleading account of a personal trip to Israel that included a previously undisclosed meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu. No 10 issued a statement on Monday saying May met Patel earlier in the day and discussed with her a possible breach of the ministerial code. The point is that the Foreign Office did know about this, Boris knew about [the trip]. As far as I am concerned, the Foreign Office have known about this. “The FCO [Foreign Office] are clear that UK interests were not damaged or affected by the meetings on this visit,” DfID said.
