Leadership race rival Sunak will not be in UK Truss’s new cabinet

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.
Sunak said earlier in the day that he would not accept a
ministerial job from Truss, reiterating a suggestion he has made
during the Conservative Party leadership campaign that kicked
off in July when Johnson was forced to step down from the role.
“It is just not something I’m thinking about,” Sunak told
the BBC when asked if he would accept a ministerial job from
Truss, who had a smaller margin of victory in the contest than
any of her predecessors.
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 Therese 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.
