David Cameron has made a dramatic return to Government as Foreign Secretary in a reshuffle triggered by Rishi Sunak’s decision to sack Fareham MP Suella Braverman from the Home Office.
The former prime minister replaced James Cleverly as Foreign Secretary and will be given a peerage.
Mr Cleverly takes on the job of Home Secretary after Mr Sunak ended Mrs Braverman’s controversial tenure in the job.
Suella Braverman’s sacking by Rishi Sunak was criticised by Tory MP Dame Andrea Jenkyns.
She wrote on Twitter: “I support @SuellaBraverman. Sacked for speaking the truth. Bad call by Rishi caving in to the left!”
Labour’s national campaign co-ordinator Pat McFadden said: “A few weeks ago Rishi Sunak said David Cameron was part of a failed status quo, now he’s bringing him back as his life raft.
“This puts to bed the Prime Minister’s laughable claim to offer change from 13 years of Tory failure.”
