rishi sunak was no longer in thejob, and that would happen where rishi sunak was no longer in the jobter any election defeat. so between now and that point, were it to happen, rishi sunak will obviously be doing all he can to try and win the general election which would ensure that he would carry on as conservative leader and prime minister. so in the short term she is no direct threat to him, as much as she might be an irritant on the backbenches, but an irritant with a smaller platform than the one that she became having the platform of home secretary which she has had for the last year or so.— the last year or so. chris, we have been showing _ the last year or so. chris, we have been showing viewers _ the last year or so. chris, we have been showing viewers pictures - the last year or so. chris, we have i been showing viewers pictures from downing street where this cabinet reshuffle is now under way. as you mention, the prime minister is trying to probably reframe his government, take control of the government. but up to now he has made several attempts at appealing to voters, is a

rishi sunak is only prime minister because i caused quite a crisis. ago, it feels like a lot longer! it is interesting because the reason that liz truss one that leadership election against rishi sunak in the summer of 2022 was because rishi sunak argued against her that tax cuts would be inflationary and they shouldn't happen at a time of high inflation. you saw in his speech today that rishi sunak was trying to argue that circumstances have changed. he drew attention to last week? inflation figures and argued they were effectively a turning point and now the government can move to a new phase of cutting taxes. i'm surejeremy hunt will have to argue that whatever tax cut the pursue will not make inflation worse. 5ir the pursue will not make inflation worse. ,, . . . . worse. sir patrick vallance has been tellin: the worse. sir patrick vallance has been telling the covid _ worse. sir patrick vallance has been telling the covid inquiry _ worse. sir patrick vallance has been telling the covid inquiry difficult - telling the covid inquiry difficult was in

it said a few weeks ago rishi sunak said a few weeks ago rishi sunak said david cameron was part of a is bringing him back as his liferaft. that comes from the national campaign coordinator for the labour party. it goes on to say this puts to bed the prime minister's laughable claim to offer change from 13 years of tory failure. it feels that the starting gun has been fired on the general election next year. yes. i think what the david cameron appointment does again is that it shows rishi sunak is trying yet another tactic to try to revitalise his leadership. he has tried many things, he has tried to be his own man, the change man, and now he is trying to look to others who might represents a kind of smoother form of government than he has been able to deliver from the past. it all gets terribly contradictory. as it did change, the past. it may look like you can find enough sensible people in his own party who are mps or peers at the moment to do the job, so he is looking at david cameron. it may be that he is looking to say let's move to a different, more competent type of leadership

i think the biggest risk for rishi sunak is that l biggest risk for rishi sunak is that he has been talkingnge candidate which in a way as externally claim given that here is the latest in a quite long line of prime ministers and it is, the opposition parties are jumping prime ministers and it is, the opposition parties arejumping on that. they say that they pour scorn on that particular claim and they also will say, look at david cameron, he was the architect to austerity. the labour party will argue that brought misery to millions of people and has left product services on a per state. they will also point back to the fact that he was the leader of the remain campaign in the brexit referendum and now he is supporting part of government that is pressing ahead with forging a new place for britain in the world and it is his brief now to be in charge of that foreign policy. anyway, rishi sunak has given the opposition parties plenty of ammunition. the risk anyway for labour is with this reshuffle, we are seeing a tilt to the centre ground again for the conservative party. there is that not th

it's also quite for rishi sunak. he quite useful for rishi sunak.able to delegate foreign delegate matters of foreign import over to the foreign secretary. previously sometimes we've had foreign secretaries who sort of hold the role in name only when an actual big breaking international story comes out. it's the prime minister who has to travel to the relevant place and engage in diplomacy. now, david cameron will very much be able to do that on rishi sunak's behalf. he has the international contacts , has the international contacts, he has the reputation. he has the gravitas, as it were, on the world stage that said , and it's world stage that said, and it's a pretty controversial appointment. yes, there are plenty of moderates in the conservative party, perhaps on the on the left of the party who are really happy about the news, partly for the reasons i've just mentioned, partly because they feel grown back feel that the grown ups are back in charge. that's a phrase i've been hearing lot in been hearing a lot in westminster there westminster today

and the fact that rishi sunak will call the former prime minister. in his government, it was possible to imagine him, during the recent conference of the conservative party, sunak spoke about former political leaders like this. for 30 years, we've had a political system that incentivized the wrong decisions and the easy ones. 30 years of rhetorical ambitions that are only short-term in nature. in his international challenges, although i do not agree with some personal decisions, it is clear to me that rishi sunak is strong and capable a prime minister who is showing exemplary leadership in challenging times, i want to help him ensure the prosperity and security of our country, and to be part of the strongest possible team serving the united kingdom and to lead at a time when countries face elections. old conflicts seem to be behind us, but the country faced another challenge: the minister of internal affairs was dismissed from his post. suella braverman in her recent controversial article accused the police of bias. this material is not agreed in the prime minister's office. the dismi

it is an i interesting decision for rishi sunak. we keep hearing about these newer mps sunak.ill put one of them in the health department, we have heard names like laura trott, richard holden, david johnston. perhaps he will put one of them there. that would be a pretty big elevation. health is such an important and difficultjob. he might chew somebody on a lower rung of the cabinet. robertjenrick, the immigration minister, he was a minister at the health department. it will be an interesting guide to what the rest of the reshuffle is going to be like. taste what the rest of the reshuffle is going to be like.— going to be like. we have been talkin: a going to be like. we have been talking a lot — going to be like. we have been talking a lot about _ going to be like. we have been talking a lot about the - going to be like. we have been talking a lot about the main i going to be like. we have been| talking a lot about the main big surprises, not least of course the return of david cameron to front line politics, but what other announcements have probably not talked about in grea

made a dramatic return to government as foreign secretary, as part of a major cabinet reshuffle by rishi sunak cameron said although he disagreed with �*some individual decisions' made by mr sunak, he believed the prime minister was a strong and capable leader. it was a surprise, not least, because he's not an elected mp. he quit as an mp seven years ago, after britain voted to leave the eu, a referendum he instigated. so, to get him back into downing st, he was made a peer and will take up a seat in the house of lords. so, lord cameron will replace james cleverly who had been serving as foreign secretary. mr cleverly moved to become home secretary after suella braverman was sacked, following days of speculation about her future. mrs braverman angered number 10 after writing a newspaper article which criticised, among other things, the policing of london's pro—palestinian marches. we'll talk more about where the reshuffle leaves the conservative party, and uk politics in a moment, but first this report from our political editor, chris mason. what the hell? people express surprise in a variety

looking at rishi sunak, he is a i looking at rishi sunak, he is a generational change, a man with rootsducation on the west coast of america and a profound understanding of tech and global finance. in many ways it is odd when you have that quite interesting, progressive generational change at the top of the conservative party, to go back to the past, if you like. if you look across the cabinet with the recent appointment of claire coutinho in energy and then victoria atkins today, you have a balance of experience and very able young people in cabinet. if you were a head hunter coming up with a cabinet thatis head hunter coming up with a cabinet that is balanced with people who cover each other�*s weaknesses, you now have rishi sunak�*s youth covered by david cameron's age. another interesting thought, michael heseltine pointed this out, there was a period when the conservative party was not moving on to the next generation, not progressing. but seemed to be in the hands of the slightly mad people who were at the extremes of politics and flirting with even further extremes of british pol
