david cameron now. that's right and part of the _ lord david cameron now. d david cameron now. that's right and part of the reason for this - lord david cameron now. that's right and part of the reason for this is i and part of the reason for this is it's important for ministers to be able to be accountable to other politicians so that they can stand up politicians so that they can stand up at the dispatch boxes and be asked questions and grilled on the latest policies. he will be sitting in the house of lords rather than the house of commons as an mp, which some mps may not be particularly happy about if they not —— they don't see him in and around the chamber is much as if the foreign secretary was an mp. part of the reason is so he can take up that position as foreign secretary and still be accountable to parliament. some may argue this also gives him potentially more space to focus on a big brief ahead. because mps, as well as carrying out their ministerial roles if they are ministers, have a general election to think about next year, where they all indi

david _ but with the voters? interesting, because david cameron, - but with the voters? interesting, because davidron, as i was mentioning, seen as someone who has experience of winning elections but also someone who is more on the centre of the party potentially brought in as a unity candidate, able to bring back support from conservative voters who may have felt isolated by some of the more right wing rhetoric and policies potentially like that caused by suella braverman, the home secretary, former home secretary. there may be a political calculation. policy wise, we don't know yet what david cameron will stand for as foreign secretary. we knew what he stood for as prime minister and we knew he campaigned to remain in the brexit referendum but we don't know what his foreign policy positions will be. interestingly, i have had a look back at some of his past comments when it came to foreign policy issues. one thing that is pretty noticeable, he was very damning of the government's decision to break its commitment to spend 0.7% of national income on foreign aid. he said the decision to cut foreign

when david cameron walks up not really. when davidp the street this morning for the cabinet meeting i think it will be almost as surreal, of course not quite as surreal as it was yesterday. it's amazing, really. david cameron, lord cameron, as we will first have to get used to calling him, was fast to work yesterday. he met the indian foreign minister, assuming he would meet james cleverly. instead he got a former pmi. last night he had a phone call with antony blinken, the us secretary of state, when they talked about the israel — hamas war, all the serious issues. i do wonder whether in the long actually the most consequential, if not the most attention grabbing thing happened yesterday, might be rishi sunak�*s decision to sack suella braverman as home secretary. tomorrow the supreme court will rule on the legality of the government's flagship rwanda policy. of course, until yesterday, that was on suella braverman�*s injury, a big part of her pitch to reduce illegal immigration and the number of people coming on small boats across t

david david cameron the prime minister was considered one of the culprits of the current situation, and now he has been approached to reduce the problems. provoked a reaction. a few weeks ago he said: david cameron is part of the existing failed state and now he has returned as a lifeboat. sunak, the leader of the conservative party and the prime minister of england, who failed to achieve almost all of his goals, including the reduction of almost 8 million people in the queue of patients waiting for treatment in the country's public hospitals, and the economic goals outlined, especially the reduction of inflation, sarran. and the conservative party members are also worried about losing in the upcoming national elections the conservative party has been in power in this country for 13 years. from the outside, choosing cameron seems like the right thing to do. but i personally believe that despite the important position they gave him, he cannot unite the conservative party and play an effective role in improving the existing terrible situation . shah to remove the obstacles to cameron's presence in the cabinet and to achieve political goals, including the victory of this party in the upcomi

so who is david cameron and why is this l to accept. so who is david? deputy political editor vicki young has this report. when he became party leader, david cameron wanted to be seen as a modern, centrist, compassionate conservative, highlighting green issues in the arctic, later welcoming liberal democrats into coalition government and legalising gay marriage — all a far cry from the divisive political debate of recent years. good afternoon, everyone... after leaving office, the former prime minister retreated to his shepherd's hut to write his memoirs. there were lucrative speaking tours, charity work, and then a role with the finance group greensill capital. a committee of mps later accused him of a significant lack ofjudgment over his lobbying of ministers. the return of david cameron gives rishi sunak a seniorfigure around the cabinet table, and one with good contacts on the world stage. but with all those years of experience comes a lot of baggage — plenty for the opposition parties and some tory mps to complain about. good evening, good evening

written questions to the foreign secretary will still be answered by david cameron the's office on his behalf so effectively by davidhave, both on behalf of their constituents and looking at foreign policy more generally to be able to ask things of david cameron. so they should be able to make it work if they use the existing mechanisms or develop some new ones but i don't think is going to change the underlying complains that the speaker and mps will have over this appointment, which isjust the nature of having to chambers. thank you very much for taking us through what is quite a complicated process going forward. if you are justjoining us, we are in downing street and the black door behind us is closed but it was opening and closing a lot earlier as various members of the cabinet, the newly formed cabinet, after yesterday, were arriving for a cabinet meeting which only if units ago, maybe 15 minutes ago, got under way. that new cabinet will be sitting around the table with prime minister rishi sunak but around the table will be someone who sat there before, during those meetings, former british prime minister, da

favourable opinion of david cameron, while labour says rishi sunak can no longer claim to represent change. the country needs change. i mean, this is not change, bringing back davidre tory psychodrama and division. it is not going to fix the fundamental problems facing the country. the reshuffle is continuing, therese coffey has left the cabinet. but critics have labelled the david cameron appointment a dead cat, shorthand for political destruction. for political distraction. this one is very much alive, and rishi sunak is hoping to breathe new life into his government. there was movement in the door behind us in the time that that report was playing. the former health secretary steve barclay has now been announced as the secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs. of state for environment, food and ruralaffairs. if of state for environment, food and rural affairs. if you hot this morning was busy, this afternoon continues that reshuffle at pace. i am joined by our chief political correspondent, henry left them. it is one of those dog days, isn't it? steve barclay has moved from health to environment and rural affairs, is that of the motion? maybe

. >> so i have a great respect for david cameron personally. i worked david cameron personally. m says, i think and as miriam says, i think he'll do a great job as foreign secretary. the concern that we have the policy have is about the policy direction very direction and something very important happened in 2016. there realignment in our there was a realignment in our politics, reorientate of the politics, a reorientate of the governing of the governing interest of the country towards the people . country towards the people. >> and that we heard that, didn't we, from danny kruger and miriam cates , about their miriam cates, about their concerns about the reshuffle. now, those two don't think i think there will be a change of leadership in the top of the tory party. they merely want to bnng tory party. they merely want to bring back to where bring the party back to where they in 2019. earlier today they were in 2019. earlier today , around 9:30, of course, this new team met around rishi sunak that we heard from him earlier. the pm saying there that let's get back to work. opposit

the fact that david cameron _ highlights or low lights. the fact that davideron was there i highlights or low lights. the fact that david cameron was there isj highlights or low lights. the fact - that david cameron was there is the big story we have been talking about for the past 24 hours, a shock return to front line politics from the former british prime minister and he was all smiles this morning round the cabinet table, in fact at the very top of that meeting rishi sunak welcomed new faces and also said that welcome to faces who may well be pretty familiar with these surroundings. david cameron chose the right seat, he did not sit on its old seats but in the seat of the foreign secretary. but what they working to talk about other things coming up on the agenda soon, there is a new home secretary in the shape ofjames is a new home secretary in the shape of james cleverly who replaced suella braverman yesterday and he briefed the cabinet on a big rolling tomorrow on the government policy of sending some asylum seekers to row underfor processing. —— sendin

david cameron says he's people. david>> -- >> the prime minister asked me to do this job and it's a time where we have some daunting challenges as a country. the conflict in the middle east, the war in ukraine and of course i hope that six years as prime minister 11 years leading the conservative party gives me some useful experience and contacts and relationships and knowledge that i and relationships and knowledge thati can and relationships and knowledge that i can help the prime minister to make sure we build our alliances. >> we build partnerships with our friends, we deter our enemy us, and we keep our country strong. >> that's why i'm doing the job and i'm delighted to accept it. >> well, it's been a busy morning in downing street and the news doesn't end there . the news doesn't end there. breaking in the last few moments , gb news presenter esther mcvey , seen entering downing street. no details as yet. more on that shortly. and then as we've been hearing, the latest cabinet reshuffle has brought us some controve

and i am being told, i keep hearing david cameron in my year... but i can't see davideron in the street so i'm just going to focus on reminding you all of this reshuffle. let me start from the top to keep it simple. suella braverman was sacked yesterday, she was replaced byjames cleverly who is now the home secretary, we saw him coming up the street a few moments ago, james cleverly was foreign secretary, he's now been replaced by former british prime minister david cameron who isn't here yet despite what people were telling me. in the health brief was steve barclay but he's no longer in health, he's been moved to environment secretary replacing coffey. the new health secretary is victoria atkins, another key move, important given the cost of living crisis, is laura trott who replaces john glenn as chief secretary to the treasury. another big move, given that we are in the year ahead before a likely general election is that the conservative party now has a new chairman, richard holden, replacing greg hands. a bit of a mouthful but we got through all of the main moves i

david cameron was made a note, he's now news, david cameron, with the paul, the him to take home as well, to lord david cameron, who is lord cameron accountable to that? if he's not accountable to the voters as well, that's really a good question because of course, as you said, he's on alexis, he's not been a member of palm and for a number of years now. famously he stepped down on the rocks that referendum the one he calls that a cool campaigns against a man in a sense of loss when it didn't go his way. he stepped down, he's been quite quiet, but ever since so no, i'd like to know accountable to constituents people in his diary that it's elected . yeah, of course of the criticism treat because he's not as much accountable to southern as requirement because he comes for tonight by members of parliament. we did not elected house of commons. he chan onto the questions in the house. the house moved the proceeding saying the time like this, particularly such an important role. and there's so many international challenges he really has to be storage not now. that is something that i was where

the return of david cameron gives rishi sunak a seniorfigure the return of david cameron gives rishi able and one with good contacts in the world stage. but with all those years of experience comes a lot of baggage. plenty for the opposition parties and some tory mps to complain about. good evening, good evening, how are you? in you? i n power , you? in power, he wooed the chinese president over a pint in an english pub, and hailed a golden era of closer relations with beijing. now, a vocal section of tory mps see china as a huge threat. his foreign policy record includes the 2011 military intervention in libya. it was later strongly criticised by the foreign affairs select committee, which said action had been taken with no proper intelligence analysis, and it left libya a failed state. for many voters, lord cameron is associated with public sector cuts, and of course, brexit. his confidence that he could win the argument for the uk to remain in the eu was his biggest political miscalculation, but not, as it turns out, career ending. our political editor chris mason joins us now from

well, isn't that confirmed by bringing back david cameron, a man associated with the referendum with campaigning for remain overnight? it goes from davidameron back as a figure of stability to right the ship , to david cameron actually ship, to david cameron actually being in his presence in the cabinet, being an indicted agent of everything that suella braverman is saying is wrong about rishi sunak finally to him, essentially , is he just him, essentially, is he just shoring up the blue wall and abandoning the brexiteers , abandoning the brexiteers, abandoning the brexiteers, abandoning the brexiteers, abandoning the red wall, abandon ing, levelling up? intriguingly, the lib dems say you're correct that this is about moving back towards the centre in to order capture and hold on to the southern vote. there is a theory that rishi sunak has consigned himself to losing gracefully that he just wants to lose in a way that his mates will say rishi, you tried your best and you remained a moderate throughout there was a little bit of flirtation with populism earlier this year when you started talking about green staff and when you started tal
