Priti Patel is furious after the Prime Minister blocked plans to make public sexual harassment a specific offence, according to reports
Home Office sources suggest the PM has misjudged the public mood, given the recent death of Sabina Nessa and the sentencing of Sarah Everard’s killer – serving Met Police officer Wayne Couzens.‘Trying to bring it down to wolf whistling is massively problematic. But we’re going to make this happen.
Another source added: ‘Make no mistake, Boris Johnson is the person blocking and holding this back. He seems to be stuck in the past on this issue.’ After the recent murder of Sabina Nessa in southeast London, sources worry that the Prime Minister is misjudging the public mood Despite the PM riding roughshod over its plans, officials are still understood to be carrying out a legal review with the view to making a new law.
