secretary of state

The minister added: “The secretary of state for education will be looking across the piece at exactly where the money that she has been allocated will be prioritised.”

“I could argue that Anthony Blinken was a joke of a secretary of state, and 'border czar' Kamala Harris was a f**king joke,” Santos said.
