LIZ Truss may spring a surprise pick for Home Secretary by turning to former leadership rival Tom Tugendhat.
LIZ Truss
The Foreign Secretary is now widely expected to be unveiled as the new Tory leader and Prime Minister on Monday and had been strongly tipped to name the current Attorney General Suella Braverman as the new minister in charge of the problematic Home Office. But sources have told Express.co.uk the former army officer Mr Tugendhat may have moved in front of Ms Braverman as the favourite to take the key post where he will be put in charge of the security services, policing and ending the immigration crisis.
However, any hopes by supporters of the ECHR that Mr Tugendhat would take a softer line look set to be disappointed as he has been a longstanding critic of the Strasbourg court too.
