Former Prime Minister David Cameron becomes the new Foreign Secretary. The conservative British Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, had to resign from her position. Recently, she has repeatedly attracted attention with provocative statements, most recently about pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
In Britain, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fired controversial Home Secretary Suella Braverman. Foreign Minister James Cleverly will take up his role, the government’s chief of staff announced on Monday. Former Prime Minister David Cameron is surprisingly returning to cabinet as the new Foreign Secretary.
Braverman deliberately provoked?
The dismissal of the controversial Interior Minister, Suella Braverman, had already been known. She will be succeeded by the previous foreign minister, James Cleverly.
Far-right Conservative politics have repeatedly taken offense to his statements. More recently, she called a pro-Palestinian demonstration a “hate march” and the participants a “mob” – she accused the police of being too tolerant of them. Braverman called homelessness “a lifestyle issue.”
According to observers, his moves could be calculated: does Braverman intend to be fired to succeed Prime Minister Sunak? , they asked themselves before making their decision.

With next year’s parliamentary elections, time is running out for Sunak to win favor with voters. In recent polls, the Labor opposition led Sunak’s Conservative Party by around 20 percentage points. More recently, they lost two constituencies in by-elections in July. The Conservatives are grappling with the fallout from a series of scandals under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who, among other things, ignored Corona rules set by his government. (red/ag)
