International Desk: Former Prime Minister David Cameron has been appointed as the Foreign Minister of the United Kingdom.
BBC Live reports that David Cameron has been announced as the new Foreign Secretary. He was all smiles on his way to the foreign office.
Cameron wrote on his social media page, “Although I have been out of frontline politics for the past seven years, I hope to draw on my experience—eight years as a Conservative leader and six years as Prime Minister.”
He added that, although he may disagree with some of Sunak’s personal decisions, he is a strong and capable leader.
Meanwhile, UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman has been sacked for criticizing police intervention in pro-Palestinian protests. Rishi Sunak fired him on Monday, Reuters news agency quoted a government source as saying.
The source told Reuters that Home Minister Braverman had decided to move under pressure from opposition MP Rishi Sunak and members of his own party, the ruling Conservative Party.
The Sun tabloid’s political editor said Foreign Secretary James Cleverley would replace Braverman.
Last week, Braverman published an article protesting police intervention in pro-Palestinian protests, calling it a “double standard.” Meanwhile, the opposition Labor Party said that because of this, tension has spread in pro-Palestinian protests on Saturday.
Sunak is expected to make major changes to his cabinet. It is also said that he will remove some ministers and bring in his allies. Especially those from Downing Street offices who were told that the department was not working as it wanted.
