I know as my work consists of about 40% Indian people..

I'm not sure its a culture thing. She was born, raised and educated in the UK so hasn't really experienced Indian "work culture". Obviously her home life experience could be different but she has worked for a long time in UK politics and so should know her behaviour was not suitable when shouting and swearing at staff. If you can't manage a team without resorting to verbal abuse and threats, you're not a good manager
