Writing a letter to Boris Johnson on Monday afternoon, Ms Patel said “it has been the honour of my life to serve our country as home secretary for the last three years” and she will now “champion many of the policies and causes I have stood up for” from the backbenches.
It comes as Liz Truss is due to appoint a new cabinet on Tuesday after being elected as the new leader of the Conservative Party.
Ms Truss defeated rival Rishi Sunak and will become the nation’s third female leader.
One good thing has happened today then.
She was getting sacked tomorrow anyway, so not really unexpected
“oh no”
Things are looking up already.
Hopefully whoever takes over can make the Rwanda immigrant service work.
