Priti Patel faces her moment of truth tonight after the PM ordered her home from an Africa tour to be sacked. The International Development Secretary arrived in Downing Street this evening with her fate apparently sealed, after two further secret meetings with Israeli officials emerged on top of the 12 that had already been revealed. She also reportedly visited an Israeli military field hospital in the Golan Heights, a disputed area that Britain does not recognise, and failed to declare it. The departure will be the second brutal body blow for Mrs May in just a week, after Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon resigned over the Westminster sleaze row last Wednesday. It will inevitably heighten the sense of chaos engulfing the government, as Mrs May desperately tries to get a grip on a bewildering array of crises. To make matters worse, the Prime Minister herself is also facing questions - amid claims she spoke to Miss Patel about her meeting with Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu as long ago as September.
