Amber Rudd's return is a surprising yet inevitable new dawn

Amber Rudd’s return to frontline politics was both a surprise and inevitable, according to one former colleague.Surprising because she was brought down so recently and so spectacularly by the Windrush scandal, which she had tried to defend despite a series of articles in the Guardian.Rudd, 55, comes back to the cabinet as work and pensions secretary seven months after leaving over a hostile environment policy towards immigrants that was devised by May when she was home secretary.
