Allies of Levelling Up Sec Michael Gove are touting him as a possible replacement, which could happen as early as June.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace is also in line for the promotion after impressing during the Ukraine crisis.

Red Wall MPs are increasingly frustrated at the crossings, which have already topped 4,000 this year, four times as many as 2021.

It comes as The Sun can reveal migrants arriving last year were offered a range of Domino’s pizza on arrival while splurging over £21,000 on the fast food.

Migrants enjoyed 1070 “create your own” pizzas, and also enjoyed 1,066 Cheese and Tomato toppings.

They also munched on 732 veggie and 387 meat products from the chain.

An ally of the Home Secretary hit back at the rumours saying: “She’s in this bizarre predicament where Priti is taking all the blame for something happening and able to be stopped by another country.

“Hopefully after the French elections we get somewhere with them.”

Another Whitehall source said: “Michael’s last attempt to brief himself a promotion saw him demoted to local government.

“If he keeps on at this rate he will be at the Welsh Office before the end of summer.”
