Amber Rudd resigns as Work and Pensions Secretary

Resignation letter: https://twitter.com/AmberRuddHR/status/1170429481879842817?s=20 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49623737

Amber has resigned, saying she cannot "stand by" while "loyal moderate Conservatives are expelled".

In her resignation letter, she said she no longer believed leaving the EU with a deal was the government's "main objective".

She described the sacking of 21 Tory MPs on Tuesday as an "assault on decency and democracy".

In her resignation letter to the prime minister she said: "I joined your cabinet in good faith: accepting that 'No Deal' had to be on the table, because it was the means by which we would have the best chance of achieving a new deal to leave on 31 October.

"However I no longer believe leaving with a deal is the government's main objective."

Is she still the fastest-rising politician to a Great Office of State since the Second World War?

This article cites a 2016 source, which states that Rudd was (presumably, at the time of publication of the linked source) the fastest-rising politician to a Great Office of State (i.e. Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary, Home Secretary) since the Second World War - she became an MP in 2010, and was promoted to Home Secretary in 2016, which means her rise to a Great Office of State took slightly over 6 years. However, Rishi Sunak was elected as an MP in 2015, and became Chancellor of the Exchequer in 2020 - less than 5 years after becoming an MP. Is it worth updating this article to reflect this, or should we try to find a source to update Sunak's article? Or does no one care? Just wondering if this now-inaccurate piece of information was worth correcting.
