Rishi Sunak Cabinet Reshuffle: Suella Braverman sacked, James Cleverly in at Home Secretary, David Cameron new Foreign Secretary
David Cameron is the new Foreign Secretary after Suella Braverman's sacking sparked a reshuffle from Rishi Sunak.
Ms Braverman was replaced by James Cleverly as home secretary, as Mr Sunak took action following her unauthorised article criticising the way pro-Palestinian protests had been policed.
Mr Cameron's sensation return saw him given a life peerage, called the "Barony of the United Kingdom for life".
Key Events
Nice try
Just out of a briefing where, asked how they felt about the head of the remain campaign now trying to sell Brexit abroad, the Prime Minister’s press secretary said “We’re not looking to the past, we’re looking to the future”. Not sure about that one.
It'll be fine
Lord Cameron has insisted he will be held accountable properly in his new role, despite not facing regular questioning from MPs in the Commons.
“I will be held to account in the House of Lords where I have to account for myself and the Government,” he said during his first interview as Foreign Secretary.
That clears that up.
That's all folks
What a day. I expected Suella Braverman to be sacked, and was ready for a reshuffle, but I don't think a single person in Westminster outside Downing Street knew David Cameron would be coming back. Thank you for reading and all the comments today, it's nice to see our readers so passionate. I'm off for a big lie down, have a wonderful evening one and all.
