David Cameron, British Prime Minister from 2010-2016, has been appointed as Foreign Secretary following a cabinet reshuffle in Downing Street today, Monday, November 13, 2023.

A former prime minister returning to government in this way is pretty unusual.

Cameron’s reinstatement into the cabinet of Rishi Sunak, the current prime minister, was announced today after Sunak sacked Suella Braverman, Home Secretary, for using “inflammatory” language in an article for the Times Newspaper.

In her article, Braverman also described pro-Palestinian protesters as “hate marchers” and added: “I do not believe that these marches are merely a cry for help for Gaza”.
