An MP is being tipped for a cabinet promotion.
Hastings and Rye MP Amber Rudd is being widely tipped for a promotion next week from her current job in the Whips’ office to a Whitehall department post according to national newspaper reports.
The moves are widely seen as a move to strengthen Chancellor George Osborne’s position by rewarding his allies as well as increasing the profile of women within the Conservative with as many as ten female MPs expected to get promoted.
