I do believe she actually gets it (as does Imran Khan)...
Imran Ahmad Khan, who referenced a letter to Ms Patel last week from black and ethnic minority Labour MPs - including a number of members of Sir Keir's frontbench - who accused her of using her own experiences of racism to "gaslight the very real racism faced by black people and communities across the UK”.
Mr Ahmad Khan said: “The home secretary and I, along with other Conservative colleagues have been subject to torrents of hateful prejudice and frankly racist abuse from the Left’s legions outside - as well as, in the case of my right honourable friend, sadly from sources on the benches opposite - as we refuse to conform to their prejudices. “Does the home secretary agree with me that the leader of the opposition should condemn all these attacks and support the full weight of the law being applied equally to everyone no matter how righteous they believe their views are?”
Ms Patel replied: “He is absolutely right, we should be calling out collectively racist and intolerant behaviour and I am saddened that the leader of the opposition has effectively failed to depart from the divisive, hateful, racist politics of its former leader.”
