On Monday morning, former British prime minister David Cameron made an unexpected and sudden return to the frontline of British politics when he was named the country’s new foreign secretary.
The announcement followed news that Rishi Sunak had sacked his divisive home secretary Suella Braverman as part of a cabinet reshuffle. James Cleverly, who was the UK’s foreign secretary, will take over Braverman’s role as Home Secretary.
Why did Sunak select Cameron, who has spent the last seven years writing his memoirs and involving himself in business, to come back into government and lead the country’s foreign affairs?
What kind of relationship do the former and current prime ministers have with one another and what approach will Cameron bring to the country’s foreign policy arrangements.

And, what will happen to Suella Braverman – the woman consistently accused of employing far-right rhetoric and lacking compassion when it comes to asylum seekers, immigrants and multiculturalism? Does she have a future in British politics and will she still try to succeed Sunak as the next conservative party leader?
Today: Suella Braverman is out, David Cameron is in – but what is Rishi Sunak up to?
