Braverman had to leave after an uproar over police policy regarding demonstrations. He independently wrote an opinion piece in the British newspaper The Times about the issue and stated that the police were biased. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak later said he did not support the article and was unaware of it.
Pro-Palestinian demonstration
Sunak and Braverman were particularly at odds over the pro-Palestinian demonstrations on National Remembrance Day last Saturday. Over the weekend, the media reported that Sunak wanted to get rid of Braverman.
Braverman clashed with fellow party members and members of the opposition over his position on police actions at demonstrations.
He stated in his article in The Times that the police were more accommodating when it came to left-wing demonstrators and ‘pro-Palestinian mobs’. Many politicians are angry that the minister himself has undermined trust in the police.
‘Surprising move’
Cameron’s return was a surprise, correspondent Anne Saenen told RTL Z News. “No one would have expected this appointment to be made to one of the most important ministerial positions. No one would have thought that the changes Prime Minister Sunak made to his cabinet would be so significant. This is a very special step, because it is a very important step. first time in 60 years a former prime minister has returned to cabinet.”
Initial reaction to Cameron’s appointment was positive, including from his own party. You should really look at this move in light of the national elections that will be held in the UK next year. The Conservative Party is doing very poorly in opinion polls.
The opposition Labor Party recently told Sunak it was time for change after 13 years of conservative rule. Prime Minister Sunak was clear about this. He wants to show that he can change. Cameron’s appointment is also a clear step towards the left of the political spectrum. And let’s not forget that although Cameron is less popular in the UK because of his Brexit past, he is a very well-known figure on the international stage.”
“Sunak bought experience with Cameron’s appointment. Cameron himself is a resident of 10 Downing Street, he is an experienced politician. But still, as said, this is an unexpected and surprising move. Admittedly, if you compare him to a Prime Minister, a step down, but as a member of the House of Lords, where Cameron is relegated, he is now a minister again on one occasion. So in that sense, it’s a step forward.”
