The return of Cameron suggested Sunak wanted to bring in a more centrist, experienced hand rather than appease the populist right of his party which supported Braverman. It also reawakens divisive debate over Brexit: as Prime Minister, Cameron held the referendum on European Union membership in 2016 and was hated by many on the right of the party after he campaigned to remain. He quit as prime minister and as an MP hours after Britain voted to leave, and has been given a life peerage to enable him to take one of the four main offices of state from a seat in the House of Lords, the upper chamber in the UK parliament.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ministerial reshuffle followed growing criticism of Braverman from opposition lawmakers and members of the governing Conservative Party, enabling Sunak to bring in allies and remove ministers he felt were not performing. His hand was forced when the ever-controversial Braverman defied him last week in an unauthorised article accusing police of \u201cdouble standards\u201d at protests, suggesting they were tough on right-wing demonstrators, but easy on pro-Palestinian marchers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The opposition Labour Party said that her words inflamed tensions between a pro-Palestinian demonstration and a far-right counter-protest on Saturday, when nearly 150 people were arrested, most of them from among the counter-protesters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"-xdehhsU2Cs\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UK Latest: Sunak Fires Home Secretary Suella Braverman\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-xdehhsU2Cs?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While her removal was not a surprise, it was the appointment of Cameron which caused shock in the party, welcomed by more centrist MPs but loathed by some on the right who described it as the ultimate \u201cBrexit surrender\u201d. Cameron said that he was glad to take on his new role at a time of global change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt has rarely been more important for this country to stand by our allies, strengthen our partnerships and make sure our voice is heard,\u201d wrote the new foreign secretary on X. \u201cAlthough I may have disagreed with some individual decisions, it is clear to me that Rishi Sunak is a strong and capable prime minister, who is showing exemplary leadership at a difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"d10BSf5W-rg\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"UK: Suella Braverman launches attack on Rishi Sunak\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d10BSf5W-rg?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">MPs in the centrist wing of the party said Cameron\u2019s appointment would bring international experience, and send a wider message to the country. \u201cIt\u2019s a sign to the Tory blue wall and moderate voters, we aren\u2019t heading to the right,\u201d said one Conservative MP, using a phrase that is used to describe traditional Conservative-supporting areas in the south of England.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some MPs had feared that Braverman was determined to remake the Conservatives as the \u201cnasty party\u201d with her hard-line focus on immigration and social issues, a moniker former Prime Minister Theresa May used in 2002 to try to persuade the party to shed its reputation for being uncaring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, Cameron\u2019s return compounded the anger felt by some on the right after Braverman\u2019s sacking. They backed her stance on protests and predicted she would remain a vocal force. Some Brexit supporters also said Cameron\u2019s role in the Brexit vote meant the so-called \u201cremain\u201d wing of the party had taken over.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">James Cleverly, previously foreign secretary, was appointed to replace Braverman. He is seen as a safe pair of hands and said his new role as home secretary is \u201cto keep people in this country safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"VK69-0VOWMM\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u2018I trusted you\u2019 - Suella Braverman delivers brutal resignation letter to Rishi Sunak\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VK69-0VOWMM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His first challenge will come on Wednesday when the Supreme Court rules on whether asylum seekers can be deported to Rwanda. A defeat in the key policy would lead some MPs to amplify calls for Britain to quit the European Convention on Human Rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With Braverman side-lined, her attentions might focus on preparing for a possible future race for leader of the party if, as opinions polls suggest, the Conservatives lose the election expected next year. The Labour Party has consistently held a lead of around 20 points in the polls, and Sunak has failed to narrow the gap. He tried to relaunch himself as a representative of \u201cchange\u201d at his party\u2019s conference last month, when his message was overshadowed by a poorly communicated decision to cancel part of the country\u2019s biggest rail project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Labour had called Sunak weak since Braverman\u2019s article was published last week. Now, opposition MPs claim that his decision to appoint Cameron is an act of desperation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA few weeks ago Rishi Sunak said David Cameron was part of a failed status quo, now he\u2019s bringing him back as his life raft,\u201d said Pat McFadden MP, Labour\u2019s national campaign coordinator. \u201cThis puts to bed the prime minister\u2019s laughable claim to offer change from 13 years of Tory failure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former British Home Secretary Suella Braverman criticised Prime Minister Rishi Sunak a day after her dismissal, accusing him of an &#8220;uncertain, weak&#8221; approach and betraying promises.
