From BBYO to the Home Office. Grant Shapps is new home secretary
Former BBYO president replaces Suella Braverman as Truss battles to cling onto power.
Liz Truss’s embattled premiership has been rocked by the departure of Suella Braverman as Home Secretary.
A Home Office source confirmed that Ms Braverman was out after the Prime Minister made a last-minute cancellation of a trip out of Westminster on Wednesday.
The Guardian, which first reported her departure, said that former transport secretary Grant Shapps, a major backer of Rishi Sunak for the Tory leadership and a critic of Ms Truss, is Ms Braverman’s successor.
Ms Braverman is a figure-head of the right in the party and the exit of a former Tory leadership candidate will create further challenges for Ms Truss as she struggles to maintain her grip on power.
