Johnson ‘too weak to wield the axe again’

Sir, – An investigation has found that Priti Patel has been found guilty of bullying.

It has taken nine months to get to this report and, with the going of Cummings, Patel should also be binned, to rest the style of government that has been intimated.

The breaking of the ministerial code is a sacking offence.

It would send the signal that abuse of power is unacceptable.

I suspect however that Patel

will not be sacked by Johnson as he is too weak to wield the axe again this week.
