After spending the last seven years focused on writing his memoirs and engaging in business ventures, Cameron expressed his readiness to take on the role. Despite acknowledging disagreements with some decisions made by his successor, he gladly accepted the offer, commending Sunak as a "strong and capable prime minister."
Cameron emphasized his commitment to contributing to the nation's security and prosperity and expressed his desire to be part of a formidable team leading up to the next general election. The unexpected appointment follows the dismissal of Suella Braverman, the controversial home secretary, who had been let go for defying the prime minister's authority.
Braverman's dismissal came in the wake of her refusal to comply with Number 10's instructions to moderate an article that drew parallels between the pro-Palestinian Armistice Day rally and sectarian marches in Northern Ireland. Her statements also appeared to challenge the operational independence of the Metropolitan Police during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Moreover, Braverman's comments on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), where she suggested that homeless people living in tents had made a "lifestyle choice," added to the discomfort felt by Sunak, leading to her removal from office.
