In a historic and unexpected move, former British Prime Minister David Cameron has been appointed Foreign Secretary by PM Rishi Sunak. Cameron, who resigned as an MP in 2016, has been made a life peer by the King to enable his dramatic Cabinet comeback. Downing Street announced Cameron's surprise return to frontline politics, despite not currently being an elected politician. It is only the second time since WWII that an ex-PM has come back to government. Ministers typically require Lords membership for accountability. Cameron was spotted entering No 10 as the reshuffle began. His appointment as Foreign Sec represents a remarkable political revival for the former Conservative leader.
