Former British Prime Minister David Cameron has been appointed as the Foreign Secretary in a cabinet reshuffle by the current Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.

Cameron, who served as the UK’s prime minister from 2010 to 2016, making a return to the government in such a capacity is considered highly unusual.

The announcement of Cameron’s reinstatement came on Monday following the sacking of Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary, by Sunak.

Braverman faced criticism for her use of “inflammatory” language in an article published in The Times newspaper, where she referred to pro-Palestinian protesters as “hate marchers” and questioned the motives behind their demonstrations.

Braverman’s dismissal follows weeks of controversy during which she appeared to pursue a hard-right policy agenda, making a series of controversial statements, including describing homelessness as a “lifestyle choice.”

In her statement after leaving office, she expressed that being the Home Secretary had been the “greatest privilege of her life” and hinted at sharing more details in the future.

This is the second time Braverman has lost the position of Home Secretary, as she had resigned from former Prime Minister Liz Truss’s government for breaking the ministerial code.

Sunak reappointed her less than a week later when he assumed the role of the prime minister.

Following the sacking of Braverman, Sunak initially announced James Cleverly, the former Foreign Secretary, as her replacement.

However, in a subsequent update, it was confirmed that David Cameron would be taking over as the new Foreign Secretary.

In response to his appointment, Cameron praised Sunak as a “strong and capable prime minister” displaying exemplary leadership during challenging times.

Cameron acknowledged having disagreements with some individual decisions made by his successor but expressed his eagerness to help deliver security and prosperity for the country.

The reshuffle within the ruling Conservative Party is seen as an effort by Sunak to strengthen his team and make strategic decisions for the future.

Jeremy Hunt, who was speculated to be moved from his position as Chancellor, was confirmed to stay in his post.

Additionally, Nick Gibb, the Schools Minister, and Neil O’Brien, the Health Minister, announced their decision to step down from their roles.
