But the end of the month is not good enough, according to Ms Cooper, who wants the committee to question the home secretary next week, on April 15, before the Commons is due to sit again after Easter on 21 April.
"We believe that there is no reason for any delay beyond this date given the importance of timely public information on the Home Office response to coronavirus," Ms Cooper wrote in her latest letter. She added her committee wants Ms Patel and the new permanent secretary - the Home Office's top civil servant - to"provide public information, answer urgent questions, and provide any reassurance that is needed that the Home Office is properly dealing with this crisis".
Since she became home secretary last July, Ms Patel has clashed several times with Ms Cooper, who has a reputation as a formidable committee chair.
PritiPatel is know goody-two-shoes. Remember when she got sacked for getting in bed with the Israel lobby group? That and the bullying allegations makes her Pritivile
suecresswell01 Now that is a fight I would like to watch. Get the boxing gloves out.❤️✌️🥊
Bitter clash... patel4witham hasn’t been seen for weeks. So how have they clashed exactly? Face to face, by email, phone, WhatsApp group, snail mail, semaphore, ESP....? WheresSmirkyPatel
Yvette who? Keep going Priti Patel.
Priti will be in a bitter clash with 60 million brits if she does not close our borders to illegals!I have asked her over 20 times to go public telling the public these borders are closed illegals will be rejected and our Royal Navy is in our waters forcing illegals back,Nothing
She, s fit
Why would Priti worry about the privileged Cooper millionairess who has never achieved anything in her life? Only Newsnight would consider it was a clash! It was more the equivalent of a poisonous mosquito taking up the time of a Titan!
Yes, I've been wondering the whereabouts of Priti Patel along with so many others. She had quite alot to say before this crisis but during this we've not heard a peep out of her?🤔 I know exactly the man who can find out..piersmorgan such an important figure. Where is she?
nice.
Feel sorry for Ed Balls
It’s time she went the same way as her husband,she is a waste of space.
A Question of Trust? PritiPatel advocated threatening Ireland with food shortages. Compared anti-EU group Women for Britain with the Suffragettes, Held meetings in Israel in August 2017 without telling the Foreign Office. You might struggle with this one Yvette...
Yvette Cooper should be in prison for treason.
More crap from sky.
She’s probably doing her secret deals, while the whole world, is looking the other way.
Bitter as she will ever be, hence the running theme of this government bittersweet.
Waste of space Cooper
Excellent Priti Patel Cooper is a useless labour mp not fit to be an mp just attention seeker
Why is Patel hiding? The end of the month? Is she mental
Cooper ! Is the vile women still around, who the fuk voted for her!
I reckon big arzed Patel is ill
patel4witham is a coward
Ah there she is. Eventually. Well done Ms Cooper for outing her. Not pretty.!
Why would u want to meet up with miss world Yvette cooper
How dare Yvette Cooper within her role as Home Affairs Committee Chair call for the Home Secretary to give an account of her actions under Parliamentary Democracy procedures. It is almost as if the HS, vacuous self-important wind bag that she is, wants to avoid scrutiny.
Dont really think she should have been given the job by Boris
Mrs Balls and sky talking balls. What a team.
Has she still got credibility? She is fortunate to be still the home sec. There are still tribunals to go through, no one wants an allegedly bully on the team. Not great for morale, team spirit and regardless of the job requiring robustness, it does not require confrontation.
Home minister is a puss
YvetteCooperMP patel4witham yvette is self righteous a trouble maker and attention seeker, we all know one of these personality types and tend to try and avoid them at all costs.
WhereIsPritiPatel
She’s the Home Secretary - where the hell is she? She should be taking some of the daily briefings. So what’s going on?
Priti Patel is within her rights not to appear before any committee during this lockdown. We have far greater things to worry about.
Mrs Balls only objective is to score political points because she is an ignorant and arrogant leftie nutter who should have been booted out long ago!
Upping that non-entity Cooper’s reputation to ‘formidable’? Seriously, SkyNews has most definitely lost the plot.
Sounds as if Priti Patel tours Whitehall in search of fights.
Deeply unpleasant individual is Mrs Patel,
patel4witham isn’t fit for the role and quite frankly I feel the public are getting short-changed because of her “I don’t-care” attitude. This MP has probably had more bad headlines than most yet she is still in this position of trust when in reality she can’t be trusted at all!
Squeaky Cooper? Formidable? Who said that?
What is she doing about the General Register Office? Registrars across the country working so hard to maintain an efficient death registration system. We will soon be overcome if the numbers keep climbing, even with birth registrations, marriages & civil partnerships suspended...
Never mind the handbag fight with cooper. Do your bloody job and stop the invaders coming from France
Yvette Cooper will absolutely roast her and Priti Patel knows this and this is why she’ll pull every trick in the book to avoid having that patronising smirk wiped off her face.
Jim_Cornelius She's poorly?
Ms P should advise Ms Cooper to Fuck Off, but do so in such a way as she would look forward to the journey!
Typical bully.
what is she avoiding? why has she run away?
Gosh! I hope no one is suggesting that the fearless Ms Patel is ‘frit’...
pinccushion I don't like either of them, but Patel head to head with Cooper..
Scunner666 Maybe she's refusing to attend due to the lockdown. She's probably smirking from home.
Why the hell should Priti Patel have to address bloody Yvette Cooper,she only chairs the ramped up committee to make her important,but Cooper doesn't have any role,Priti Patel and the government are working flat out for country,NHS,Cooper ignoring all experts,but wants attention.
Cooper is too full of her own self importance.......🤔
Is she somewhere in Israel enjoying the sun rays paid by Israeli 💵 and without the knowledge of the incapacitated PM fighting for his life.
Hate Priti Patel with a passion but for some fucked up reason I really want to bang her. Don't know why.
Not a priti article
So she's still alive then. I was beginning to wonder! How can she answer questions when Johnson has gagged her?
Judging by the questioning of Chief Constables by Y. Cooper's committee recently, I can understand why a person would not want to appear; it was a complete waste of time and provided nothing of value to the watchers
Priti Patel,if she appears before a Commons Committee, should refuse to answer any questions other than relating to Coronavirus,especially if there is an ongoing inquiry into bullying allegations. Yvette Cooper just wants to make trouble for the Gov,shouldn’t be given the chance.
Can’t help herself this one gents curious_twitt rupertstephen10 she hasn’t even done a single daily briefing despite being the Home Secretary.
Have you noticed that most bullies are cowards when you try to hold them to account
Priti the bully. Karma will see her sorted
