Julia Davis (Napoleon's World)

Julia Davis (born May 2, 1968) is an English politician currently serving as an MP in the House of Commons of the Republic of England. From 2013 to 2019, she served as the Home Secretary of the Republic of England and from 2008 to 2011 as the Minister of State of the Home Office. Davis was a candidate in the 2019 Conservative Party leadership election triggered by the retirement of Hugh Grant, where she was seen as the candidate of the party's right wing against the more moderate Rowan Atkinson. Atkinson, viewed as a continuity candidate, defeated Davis in a heated campaign. Davis declined to remain at the Home Office under Atkinson and returned to the backbenches. Davis was previously known as Julia Gibson, when she was married to fellow MP David Gibson, who served as Foreign Secretary in the Irons government and challenged Grant for leadership in 2008; they were divorced in 2011.
