Jeremy Hunt put himself forward to be the country's next PM during the summer, though never made it onto the ballot. Just weeks after Liz Truss won the leadership contest, he was brought in as chancellor after Kwasi Kwarteng's budget spooked the markets.
It would make sense for the new PM to appoint Ms Mordaunt to a senior position in his new-look cabinet. A navy reservist, the current Leader of the Commons served as international development secretary and defence secretary under former PM Theresa May. The current home secretary is Grant Shapps, who served as transport secretary under Boris Johnson. He was brought in by Ms Truss after Suella Braverman dramatically resigned last week.
James Cleverly, who has been serving as foreign secretary, could be in for this role. If Mr Sunak is hoping to unite all wings of the party, a return to frontline politics could a possibility for former PM Theresa May, who was reportedly sounded out following Ms Truss' resignation.Two prominent cabinet ministers of the last few years have effectively ruled themselves out of any top job that may come their way.
Not BOZO or NADZ😮😮
She's game...
