Amber Rudd

Amber Rudd was the third female Home Secretary, the fifth woman to hold one of the Great Offices of State and the fastest-rising politician to a Great Office of State since the Second World War (before Rishi Sunak was made the chancellor of the Exchequer in 2020). Before politics Amber worked in the city. On 7 September 2019, Rudd resigned from Boris Johnson’ cabinet and resigned the Conservative whip in Parliament, to protest against Johnson's policy on Brexit and his decision to expel 21 Tory MPs. She announced on 30th October that year that she would be standing down as an MP at the next general election. She now works in the private sector and among other roles is a non-executive director for Centrica PLC and Ryanair.
