Exclusive: Ex-home secretary rejects claim she oversaw two-month ‘pause’ in finding rooms for asylum seekers
Priti Patel is threatening to launch a formal complaint after Home Office sources made a “categorically untrue” claim that she oversaw a two-month summer “pause” in finding hotel rooms for asylum seekers.
The former home secretary said she was considering writing to the department’s top official after “unfounded” briefings seeking to blame her for decisions made under her successor, Suella Braverman.
