    Sir Sajid Javid's career is marked by his ascent from a working-class background to holding three of the four Great Offices of State. He was the first British Muslim Conservative MP and his resignation as Health Secretary in 2022 triggered a leadership crisis that ended Boris Johnson's premiership. His memoir The Colour of Home has been praised as a compelling personal story of social mobility.
