David Cameron returns as Foreign Secretary in surprising move
Former Prime Minister David Cameron has been appointed as Foreign Secretary by current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. This move comes as Sunak faces low poll numbers and seeks to boost support by bringing back a familiar face. Despite being disliked by many, Cameron may appeal to certain voters in the prosperous southeast of England. However, some voters still hold Cameron accountable for Brexit, which may limit the political benefit for the Conservatives.
