Ex-Prime Minister David Cameron makes shock return to UK government as foreign secretary


LONDON (AP) — Former British Prime Minister David Cameron made an unexpected return to high office on Monday, becoming foreign secretary in a major shakeup of the Conservative government that also saw the firing of divisive Home Secretary Suella Braverman. She was replaced by James Cleverly, who had been foreign secretary. It's rare for a non-lawmaker to take a senior government post, and it has been decades since a former prime minister held a Cabinet job. As prime minister he backed NATO-led military intervention in Libya in 2011 that toppled Moammar Gadhafi and deepened that country's chaos. “It’s difficult to believe that this is going to impress voters, whether they are convinced Brexiteers who despise David Cameron for being a remainer, or convinced remainers who despise David Cameron for holding and losing a referendum," he said.
