Priti Patel ‘totally up for it’

Priti Patel, poster girl for the next generation of the Tory right, will
be a key face on the airwaves come election time. When the PM offered her a job last week, she confirmed No. 10’s hope that she is a modern voice.

After Cameron told her: ‘I’d like you to go to the Treasury, Priti’, she replied:
‘Cool, I’m totally, totally up for it.’

So much for ‘Yes, Prime Minister’.
