British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday chose former Prime Minister David Cameron as foreign minister, in a surprise move as Sunak reshuffled his cabinet.

As part of the adjustments he is making to his team before the general elections expected next year, he appointed Foreign Minister James Cleverly as Minister of the Interior, replacing the controversial dismissed Minister of the Interior, Suella Braverman.

Sunak has come under increasing pressure to sack Braverman after her critics accused her of inflaming tensions during weeks of pro-Palestinian demonstrations and counter-protests in the UK.

Sunak appointed Braverman to this ministerial position after assuming prime minister a year ago.

"Becoming Secretary of the Interior has been the greatest honor of my life," Braverman said after her dismissal. "I will make additional statements at the appropriate time."

Braverman's dismissal came as the ruling Conservative Party announced that it was making a cabinet reshuffle that would include key portfolios for the first time since the formation of the current government on October 25, 2022.

“Today Rishi Sunak is strengthening his government team to make long-term decisions for a more prosperous future,” a message to the party said via Ex.
