Description
Londoners react to former UK leader David Cameron's sensational return to the British government as foreign secretary. The reinstatement comes in the wake of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's sacking of right-wing firebrand Suella Braverman as home secretary and the subsequent reshuffle of his cabinet. Cameron quit as prime minister in 2016 after losing the Brexit referendum, standing down as an MP that year, before later becoming mired in a lobbying scandal that was seen as tarnishing his reputation. "I think that they've run out of ideas, really, and they've run out of credible people to take the four senior positions in a cabinet", says 59-year-old Nick Waymark. 25-year-old David Shaw sees some reasons for optimism, saying it will be good to have "somebody that was prime minister for six years leading the country on the international stage."
