James Cleverly replaces Braverman as Home Secretary, and former Prime Minister David Cameron, who has been out of Parliament since 2016, surprisingly returns as Foreign Secretary, appointed to the House of Lords for this role.
The reshuffle includes Steve Barclay replacing Therese Coffey as Environment Secretary, Victoria Atkins becoming Health Secretary, Richard Holden as Tory Party Chairman, and Laura Trott as Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
The Liberal Democrats have challenged Cameron's peerage, citing his involvement with Greensill Capital. Labour MP Pat McFadden critiqued the move, suggesting it undermines Sunak's claim to represent change.
Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle is seeking ways for MPs to hold Lord Cameron accountable in his new role. Cameron stated his commitment to supporting Sunak's leadership. Cleverly, taking over the Home Office, faces challenges, including the ongoing debate over pro-Palestinian protests and the legality of the government's Rwanda policy for asylum seekers.
Braverman, a figure for the Conservative Party's right wing, was reappointed by Sunak after being previously removed by Liz Truss for sharing confidential documents. Her recent dismissal, her second as Home Secretary, was due to defying a Downing Street directive to modify her controversial article.
Labour and some Tories had called for her sacking, with Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper labeling her actions as "highly irresponsible." Jacob Rees-Mogg criticized Braverman's sacking, while others speculated it ends Sunak's indirect signaling of right-wing policies.
