London politics LIVE: Ex-PM David Cameron appointed Foreign Secretary and Suella Braverman sacked in Cabinet reshuffle

David Cameron has made a dramatic return to Government as Foreign Secretary as Rishi Sunak carries out a reshuffle.

Mr Sunak had earlier sacked Suella Braverman as Home Secretary who was replaced by James Cleverly, the former holder of the Foreign Office brief.

The former Prime Minister has been made a peer to allow him to serve as Foreign Secretary, No10 said.

In a short statement, sacked Ms Braverman said being Home Secretary was "the greatest privilege of my life" but added ominously for Mr Sunak: "I will have more to say in due course."

Meanwhile, Environment Secretary Therese Coffey has lost her post, writing in a letter to Mr Sunak that it was "now the right time to step back from government".
