the foreign office to the home office but the real blockbuster surprise of the day came when we saw david cameron walk up to the black door behind me, a lot of gasps and shock amongst the political journalists here in downing street. nobody could have predicted that he would be back in front line politics having left office after he lost a brexit referendum. of course he supported the remaining campaign. as well as foreign secretary to have been enough —— a number of other changes in this reshuffle. steve barclay is no longer health secretary. that now goes to victoria atkins. steve backley is now the environment secretary. it has been a very busy day with lots of events. to recap all of those moves lets go to a report from our political correspondent ian watson. these are not library pictures — this really is david cameron in downing street today. he's been given a seat in the lords and a seat at rishi sunak�*s cabinet table as the new foreign secretary. when he left office seven years ago, he promised this. i will do everything i can in future to help this great country succeed. thank you very much. but remember why he resigned. he called an eu referendum, led the remain campaign and lost, so that was not a foreign policy success. and not so long ago, you wouldn't have bet on rishi sunak bringing back a former prime minister to government. remember at his party conference, he said this about recent leaders. we've had 30 years of a political system that incentivises the easy decision, not the right one. 30 years of rhetorical ambition which achieves little more than a short—term headline. in a statement, david, now lord cameron, said, "we are facing a daunting set of international challenges. though 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. "i want to help him to deliver the security and prosperity our country needs and be part of the strongest possible team that serves the united kingdom and that can be presented to the country when the general election is held." so, while those hatchets have apparently been buried, the home secretary has been axed. this follows her controversial article accusing police officers of bias, which was not fully approved by number ten. but for once, suella braverman is not dominating the headlines, a fact that probably has not escaped the prime minister. and the former foreign secretary becomes the new home secretary. asked if he wanted to distance himself from some of the language she had used, this is what james cleverly said: i intend to do thisjob in the way that i feel best protects the british people, and our interests. i have had a very good conversation with the prime minister, who has made it very clear that he wants us to deliver on our promises, to stop the boats, to protect the british people, make sure everybody feels secure in their lives. rishi sunak was warned that if he sacked suella braverman he would be picking a fight with the right in his own party. his response appears to be, "bring it on," because in david cameron, he's brought back someone best known as a moderniser. now, that may well be an attempt to try to broaden the appeal of his government, but the jaw—dropping appointment is not without risk. some polling suggests that fewer than half of 2019 conservative voters have a favourable opinion of david cameron, while labour says rishi sunak can no longer claim to represent change. the country needs change. i mean, this is not change, bringing back david cameron. it is more tory psychodrama and division. it is not going to fix the fundamental problems facing the country. the reshuffle is continuing, therese coffey has left the cabinet. but critics have labelled the david cameron appointment a dead cat, shorthand for political distraction. this one is very much alive, and rishi sunak is hoping to breathe new life into his government. ian watson, bbc news, westminster critics may liberate the appointment of gash labelled the appointment of david cameron is a dead cat, but it is the return of a big beast into the fold in front line conservative politics. david cameron, lord david cameron i should now say, has been speaking to chris

morning. it wasn't unexpected choice but i think it is an excellent one precisely for the reasons that have been mentioned. if you choose a new foreign secretary who doesn't have that background there would be spending the next few months learning the job. we are lucky to have a foreign secretary who was prime minister for six years, not only absorbed in foreign policy along with the foreign secretary but actually knows that first hand the various prime ministers, presidents and other heads of governments around the world. if he goes to the middle east, whether he is meeting benjamin netanyahu or other arab leaders, most of them already knew him. that is a significant benefit.— is a significant benefit. there are benefits that _ is a significant benefit. there are benefits that mr

knows many world leaders, he has led delegations around the world as prime minister, but one of the biggest concerns we have been hearing today is the fact that he isn't a sitting member of parliament. he was appointed this morning to the house of lords, but there are many who say that that is not really going to ensure that there is full accountability. we can't sit in the house of commons at prime minister's questions, he can take questions in the commons, so there is a question over how he can be properly held to account in the job. it be properly held to account in the 'ob. .

and alex douglasjim was foreign secretary he was an arrow, he also had someone in the house of commons. i think what would be appropriate as for the next most senior minister in the foreign office to be someone, i don't know who it is intended to be, but some are perhaps of cabinet rank were close to cabinet rank to give him or her the authority to deal with these issues in the house of commons. there is nothing to stop the foreign secretary being summoned by the foreign affairs select committee to give evidence to the committee. being in the house of lords he can still give evidence to them

some degree but it didn't damage our national interest if the person chosen in every other aspect is an excellent prospect. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on the return of david cameron to front line british politics. i am not joined politics. iam notjoined by politics. i am notjoined by lord heseltine, politics. iam notjoined by lord heseltine, a former conservative party grandee,

go. she made a habit of using language which is quite unsuited to that of the home secretary. that is the secondary news. at the big news, which i think is extremely welcome, is the return of david cameron to front line politics. i think that will send a really important signal to the conservative party and the people at large in the country and, just as important, too many friends and allies overseas. there are of course many people who say this is a great move because it mr cameron told matt prior experience in international affairs. there are others who say this is effectively a step backwards for the party, which is moved on since the cameron days. i think this is a return to sanity for the party. david cameron, you've got to remember, after the loss of the election in 2,000 —— in 1997, we had three leaders from the right wing of the party and it never made any progress. the only time we got back to power is when david cameron was leader and lead from the centre, which is the traditional position of the conservative party. he secured a majority for us and i think he was a very substantial prime minister. he did some very important things. particularly the levelling up agenda. he was very preoccupied by the disparities between different parts of the country and set out policy to try to do something about it. an agenda, which in my view, has gone on to the back burner since his departure. gone on to the back burner since his de arture. ~ . gone on to the back burner since his dearture. ~ . . ., , gone on to the back burner since his dearture. ~ . . . , ., ,

he conducts himself in a way that talked to, listens to, understands other people's point of view and if you are a diplomat or a foreign secretary you have to be good at listening because you are in the business of earning the trust with him people you may have disagreements. david cameron is a very clever man, but he is also a very clever man, but he is also a very civilised man who talks to you and listens to the people he is dealing with, so i think he will bring a degree of sanity and a degree of balance to the job, which quite frankly with the various prime ministers we have had recently has been missing until rishi sunak got thejob. that is been missing until rishi sunak got the job. that is a very important change. i have to say that i think his appointment reflects the direction of government policy towards our european colleagues. public opinion has already changed, particularly to young people know brexit is a disaster, and the government itself, as we saw with their decision to rejoin the horizon programmes, the big scientific programmes, the big scientific programmes, with the decision to rejoin that, the government has already recognised that we have to come to an accord with our european colleagues and neighbours. i think david cameron's appointment will be seenin david cameron's appointment will be seen in europe as most welcome because he told the british people, along with every other conservative prime minister since churchill, that our destiny was interlocked with that of europe, and quite rightly so. ., , that of europe, and quite rightly so. ., �*

there are many in the country - so. you say brexit was a disaster, there are many in the country and indeed the conservative party who would strongly disagree with that characterisation and there are many in the cabinet who are strong brexiteers. is it uncomfortable in a way that a former prime minister who campaigned to remain and lost a referendum is now the face of britain on a global stage? yes, well, britain on a global stage? yes, well. you're — britain on a global stage? yes, well, you're quite _ britain on a global stage? yes, well, you're quite right - britain on a global stage? yes, well, you're quite right it- britain on a global stage? yes, well, you're quite right it is- well, you're quite right it is controversial, but i think people now realise that what they were told about brexit was a pack of lies. they were told there was a great future for us outside the european union, ulcerative changes will be made to the way the country would be from none of these is happen because it simply wasn't true. it was exploitation of people's anxieties about immigration, nigel farage and the borisjohnson took that about immigration, nigel farage and the boris johnson took that very undesirable theme and exploited it much to the discredit of the conservative party who followed it. but that is all changed, as i say. the people now know that what they were told was not true and they can see the consequences. wherever i go people tell me how much it is harming their particular business interests, whether it is the city of london or investment, whatever it may be, all of these things are now coming home to roost, as david cameron and many people said. the important thing to realise is that the public at large now realise that brexit is a disaster. {lit the public at large now realise that brexit is a disaster.— brexit is a disaster. of course, that is your — brexit is a disaster. of course, that is your perspective - brexit is a disaster. of course, that is your perspective and i brexit is a disaster. of course, i that is your perspective and thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on the return of david cameron to front line politics. that is of course, lord heseltine, a very key figure in the conservative party's history. i think what lord heseltine was articulating there is that there still is a deep divide in the brexit referendum and its legacy and there are questions about whether that debate will be reached though given that david cameron is now back in one of the government's topjobs. we have been getting reaction across political lines today on the reshuffle. let's have a listen to the labour party's few on today? reshuffle. unsurprisingly, it is critical. let's hearfrom pat mcfadden, labour's campaign coordinator.— mcfadden,

place. the perspective from the labour party there from the labour party's general election campaign coordinator. one of the questions that many people have been racing here in the wake of david cameron's appointment is how can he be effectively scrutinised in the job given that he is not a serving member of parliament. earlier today rishi sunak appointed him to the house of lords. he is now law david cameron. he will be sitting in the house of lords and typically after foreign secretary would be answering questions about the job and about various policy positions in the house of commons. that is something that the speaker of the house, lindsay hoyle, raised in the commons earlier today and he said he will have to look into how that level of scrutiny can be upheld. i do have to look into how that level of scrutiny can be upheld.— scrutiny can be upheld. i do not usually discuss _ scrutiny can be upheld. i do not usually discuss urgent - scrutiny can be upheld. i do not i usually discuss urgent questions, but today i received one and rather than discuss the matter in the chamber i thought it would be better for me to set up my thoughts on the particular issue which involves procedures of this house. the house will be aware that the prime minister today has appointed david cameron as secretary of state for foreign, commonwealth and development affairs. this is not the first time in recent years that a cabinet minister has been appointed from the house of lords, but given the gravity of the current international situation this is especially important at this house is able to scrutinise the work of the foreign and commonwealth office development office effectively. i have therefore commissioned advice from the clerks about possible options for enhancing security of the work of the foreign secretary when that post is filled by a member of the other house. i also look forward to hearing the government has not proposals on how the foreign secretary will be properly accountable to this house. i do not propose to respond to points of order on the subject today, until the advice i have referred to has been received, until i have heard the government's proposals. but i can ensure the house that i am fully aware of the need for the members to be old to hold the government to account in this area and i shall do everything i can to ensure that we are able to do so. so lindsay hoyle they are setting out some of the challenges around david cameron's return to front line politics because, of course, he is sitting in the house of lords and not in the house of commons, so there are a number of questions around how hisjob there are a number of questions around how his job will be scrutinised anti was due to be appearing before the foreign affairs select committee tomorrow. i understand that will not now happen tomorrow. that has now been postponed. we are joined by david postponed. we arejoined by david cork, a former conservative mp who served as justice secretary under theresa may between 2018 — 19. thank you for joining us here at bbc news. what do you make of the events of today? i think the prime minister has taken a couple of calculated gambles, but he was right to do so. i think it was untenable for suella braverman to carry on as home secretary. she was creating a lot of difficulties for the government and damaging the government's reputation for cohesion and unity and i think bringing back david cameron is an unexpected move, but it is a big move and i think he will add to the calibre of the government and i think it is also a useful signal to voters who have felt somewhat neglected by the conservative party in recent years, that the conservative party wants to wants to appeal to voters in the moderate centre and not be a party of the populist right. i think these are both positive moves. i don't think it is going to be transformative, certainly not tra nsformative, certainly not overnight, transformative, certainly not overnight, but i think this is a stronger government today than it was yesterday. as we were just talking then... . was yesterday. as we were 'ust talking then. . .i was yesterday. as we

then, what do i talking then... . as we were 'ust talking then, what do you i talking then... . as we were just talking then, what do you make | talking then... . as we were just - talking then, what do you make about the fact he is not serving in the house of commons, do you feel he can be scrutinised properly given he will only be in the house of lords? this is not a new issue. we saw this when peter mandelson had a very important role in gordon brown's government. if i was a labour mp i would be raising those questions. as much as possible, parliament needs to make sure that mps can hold the foreign secretary to account and whether there is a need force some new arrangements of some description, but there will still be foreign office questions, other foreign office questions, other foreign office questions, other foreign office ministers will be answerable to the house of commons and the prime minister will also be questionable. i understand why there is a sensibility on that. it has to be balanced out that by appointing someone to the house of lords you can bring somebody with experience and ability in a particular field into governments in a way that is useful to the nation. yes, it is a sensitivity but i don't think it is one that should stand on the way of disappointment.— one that should stand on the way of disappointment. thank you very much for sharin:
