Braverman's dismissal comes in the wake of her controversial comments about pro-Palestinian protests in London.
The appointment of Cameron, who is most remembered for calling the 2016 Brexit referendum, is seen as an attempt to return the Conservative Party to a more moderate footing.
UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has dismissed Home Secretary Suella Braverman and appointed former Prime Minister David Cameron as Foreign Secretary.
In a significant reshuffle of the UK government, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has dismissed Home Secretary Suella Braverman and appointed former Prime Minister David Cameron as Foreign Secretary. This move has sparked a resurgence of Brexit debates and caused divisions within the Conservative Party.
Braverman's dismissal comes in the wake of her controversial comments about pro-Palestinian protests in London. Her tenure was marked by confrontational rhetoric towards migrants, protesters, the police, and the homeless, which had caused rifts within the government and led to speculation about her potential future leadership bid. She was replaced by James Cleverly, the former Foreign Secretary.
The appointment of Cameron, who is most remembered for calling the 2016 Brexit referendum, is seen as an attempt to return the Conservative Party to a more moderate footing. However, his return to frontline politics has been met with criticism, as it is unusual for a non-lawmaker to take a senior government post. The Labour Party has accused Sunak of desperation in his appointment of Cameron.
Other changes in the reshuffle include the resignation of Cabinet Office Minister Jeremy Quin and Housing Minister Rachel Maclean, and the departure of Environment Secretary Therese Coffey. Despite these changes, Sunak's party remains deeply unpopular among voters, with polls suggesting a potentially catastrophic electoral defeat next year.

Mr Sunak now faces the threat of a full scale revolt from the Tory right, who backed Ms Braverman’s provocative comments on “hateful” pro-Palestinian protestors that led to her dismissal. And Brexit hardliners will be outraged by the shock political comeback of arch Remainer Mr Cameron.
