Priti Patel, Britain's new interior minister, is a right-wing, hardcore Brexiteer who was previously sacked from the cabinet for secret meetings with the Israeli government.
Home Secretary Patel, 47, impressed Britain's new Prime Minister Boris Johnson when she campaigned beside him for "Vote Leave" in the 2016 EU membership referendum.
Patel is a social conservative who has voted against introducing same-sex marriage and has expressed support for restoring the death penalty -- although she has since rowed back.
On taking office, Johnson promoted her to one of the chief ministries. She was the most senior woman around the new cabinet table when it first met on Thursday.
The rising star is now in charge of law and order in Britain.
"I will do everything in my power to keep our country safe, our people secure and also to fight the scourge of crime that we see on our streets," she said.

Reading the excerpt left the question: Patriotism and support for Israel are “right-wing”?
They ARE!! The Left has no room for either.
She was born in London, and is married to a white British guy.
Not as ethnic as many.

The Machine which has attacked Bibi and Trump is now attacking Boris.
They are really scared of a united USA-UK-Poland Conservative Front.

[MARIA - Movie Lyrics]
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty, and witty and gay
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me today [Broadway Lyrics]
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty, and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight
I feel charming
Oh, so charming
It’s alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I’m real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I’m loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
[ROSALIA, CONSUELO, FRANCISCA]
Have you met my good friend Maria
The craziest girl on the block?
You’ll know her the minute you see her
She’s the one who is in an advanced
State of shock
She thinks she’s in love
She thinks she’s in Spain
She isn’t in love
She’s merely insane
[ROSALIA]
It must be the heat
[CONSUELO]
Or some rare disease
[FRANCISCA]
Or too much to eat
[CONSUELO]
Or maybe it’s fleas
[ROSALIA, CONSUELO, FRANCISCA]
Keep away from her
Send for Chino!
This is not the Maria
We know!
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!
[MARIA]
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honor me
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign!
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
[ROSALIA, CONSUELO, FRANCISCA]
What mirror where?
[MARIA]
Who can that attractive girl be?
[ROSALIA]
Which?
[CONSUELO]
What?
[FRANCISCA]
Where?
[FRANCISCA]
Whom?
[MARIA]
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
[ROSALIA]
Such a pretty me!
[CONSUELO]
Such a pretty me!
[FRANCISCA]
Such a pretty me!
[ALL]
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I’m loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
They are really scared of a united USA-UK-Poland Conservative Front.
Don’t forget Hungary!
And lately, even Italy and Greece are going right wing!
When you’re nose to nose..........
Too bad Trump put in the already proven open borders, mushy Pubs rather than really cleaning house and appointing true conservatives. Sigh.
Her family left India for Uganda, then fled Uganda to Britain.
She has quite a family history of fleeing tyrants.
I suspect she has a great appreciation for the rule of law and British culture.
Are you speaking from experience, or are you merely repeating what you have heard others claim? Perhaps a close friend of yours was there last week, giving some validity to your insulting remarks?
If you haven’t been there in the last few years, your impression is likely skewed by the same style of reporting for which we vilify the left. You know, every incident of whatever type hyped to make the issue seem far worse than it actually is...
The folks *I* know from there aren’t anywhere near as frightened as you are.
