Rishi Sunak's Cabinet Reshuffle: Bim Afolami and David Cameron Appointed to Key Roles

Former Prime Minister Lord David Cameron has been appointed as foreign secretary
Suella Braverman was sacked as home secretary following controversial remarks

In a recent cabinet reshuffle, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has appointed Bim Afolami as City minister. Afolami, who has previously called for regulatory reforms to the UK's financial system, was named economic secretary to the Treasury on 13 November. This position carries the City brief, a role that oversees the financial and professional services sector in the UK.

In a surprising turn of events, former Prime Minister Lord David Cameron has been appointed as foreign secretary. Despite having disagreed with some of Sunak's decisions in the past, Cameron accepted the offer. Having stepped down as an MP in 2016, Cameron will enter the House of Lords as a life peer, which allows him to serve as a minister again. His salary will be that of a secretary of state in the Lords, £104,360 per year.

The reshuffle also saw the sacking of Suella Braverman as home secretary, following controversial remarks and an article she wrote accusing the police of 'playing favourites' with left-wing groups. Other changes include James Cleverly moving to the Home Office as home secretary, Steve Barclay taking over the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and Victoria Atkins in charge of the Department of Health and Social Care.

The reshuffle has sparked a variety of reactions from the public, with some expressing concerns about the Tories' chop-and-change leadership. The appointment of Cameron as foreign secretary has also raised questions about his suitability for the role, given his time away from frontline politics.
