POSTED ON December 30, 2023 •   Energy      BY Samuel O . Adeniyi

Former United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron has returned to government as Foreign Secretary.

Downing Street disclosed this on Monday.

This is part of the UK government reshuffling in which Suella Braverman was replaced by James Cleverly as Home Secretary.

Cameron accepted a peerage to return to government, as he is no longer an elected member of Parliament.

Speaking on his appointment, Cameron said on X formerly Twitter that he gladly accepts the appointment.

The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak's appointing Cameron shows he's looking to employ experience in tackling UK's challenges.

Sunka has been under pressure over the UK's high inflation and rising energy bills.

Some commentators have expressed concerns about Cameron's return to government, given his role in the Brexit referendum.

Cameron resigned as Prime Minister after the UK left the European Union, a move he kicked against.

Other changes in the reshuffle include:

  • Therese Coffey, the former Environment Secretary, has resigned from her position. The former Health Secretary, Steve Barclay will replace her.
  • Victoria Atkins, a junior Treasury minister was appointed Health Secretary.
  • Richard Holden, a junior Transport minister, has been appointed Party Chair.

Conclusion On Cameron's Appointment

David Cameron's return to government is a major development in British politics.

It remains to be seen how successful he will be in his new role, but his appointment is sure to generate a great deal of debate and discussion.
