TL;DR Summary

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has brought back former leader David Cameron as foreign minister in a reshuffle triggered by the firing of interior minister Suella Braverman after her criticism of the police. Sunak's decision to appoint Cameron has divided the party, with some seeing it as an attempt to bring in more centrist, experienced hands, while others view it as a "Brexit surrender." Braverman's removal follows her unauthorized article accusing the police of "double standards" at protests. The appointment of Cameron has sparked anger among some right-wing members of the party, who fear the "remain" wing is taking over. The Labour Party has consistently held a lead in the polls, and Sunak's decision to bring back Cameron has been criticized as an act of desperation.
