Priti Patel will resign from her role as Britain’s Home Secretary when the new Prime Minister is installed on Tuesday.

Ms Patel had been expected to lose her job when new Tory leader Liz Truss announced her new ministerial team.

Instead, she has sent Boris Johnson a letter of resignation – and insisted the decision was her “choice”.

“Britain had always been a beacon for freedom and democracy and I have been proud to work with you over the last three years to make that light shine brighter,” Ms Patel wrote.

“All this has been achieved despite the relentless efforts of our political opponents and left-wing activists, lawyers and campaigners.”

On Twitter, she wrote that serving as Home Secretary had been the “honour of my life”.

“I congratulate Liz Truss…and will give her my support,” Ms Patel’s leader to Mr Johnson reads.

“From the backbenches, I will champion many of the policies and causes I have stood up for both inside and outside of Government.”
