UK: An unelected foreign secretary appointed by an unelected prime minister? | DW News

David Cameron has spent the past seven years in the political wilderness - the man who gambled on a referendum that ended with Britain's seismic Brexit bust-up with Europe. Today, another gamble by another British leader brought David Cameron back to the frontline of government as British foreign secretary.

Few expected David Cameron to arrive at 10 Downing Street today for his appointment - his comeback made even more unlikely by the fact that he's currently not an elected lawmaker. The rare move by prime minister Rishi Sunak is part of a major cabinet shake-up which also saw the replacement of his divisive interior minister - Suella Braverman was sacked after writing an article accusing London's police of being too lenient with pro-Palestinian protesters.

For more, we talk to DW's Charlotte Chelsom-Pill who's been watching all this from London.
