Liz Truss, who is set to take over as Britain's Prime Minister, will not offer former finance minister and her leadership contest rival Rishi Sunak a role in her cabinet, the Guardian reported on Monday. The Guardian report, which cited sources close to Truss, also said https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/sep/05/liz-truss-will-not-offer-rishi-sunak-a-job-in-her-new-cabinet that Thérèse Coffey, the current work and pensions minister, was expected to become the country's Health Secretary in Truss's new government. Within hours of Truss being named winner of the contest, Priti Patel said she would step down as home secretary. A lawmaker belonging to the Conservative Party told Reuters that Suella Braverman, currently the government's attorney-general, was likely to be promoted to Patel's role.
