Grant Shapps: Who is the new home secretary, how old is he and previous government positions
In what seems like a near weekly event at the moment, a senior cabinet position has changed hands. Less than a week on from the departure of Kwasi Kwarteng as chancellor, Suella Braverman’s short time as home secretary has drawn to a close.
Her replacement, Grant Shapps, is a man not unfamiliar to a position in the government- although it is likely the most turbulent time he has ever been asked to take up a role. This will be his first government role since departing as transport minister earlier this year. Mr Shapps takes up his sixth position within government since 2010. He was first elected as Member of Parliament for Welwyn Hatfield in 2005 and it is a position he has held since.
In 2005, the same year he was voted in to his constituency seat, he was appointed vice chairman of the Conservative Party. In June 2007, he was made shadow housing minister.Mr Shapps is 54 and he studied at Cassio College, Watford before graduating from Manchester Polytechnic with a business and finance diploma. He is married and has three children.
