That’s a very interesting and valid point. Time will tell.
The good news about having Cameron back in government as foreign secretary is he can organise the uk to have a referendum about what to do about the Gaza situation.

It’s interesting as well that the very thugs she was playing to with her policies now are castigating her as unfit to be in government as “not English enough”
I agree. No sense of fair play.

I’ve seen the restoration of Cameron described as “taking off a pair of soiled underpants, turning them inside out and putting them back on”
Fair tickled me. Desperate measures by Sunak to try and save what is clearly a failed government. All we need now is the inevitable leadership challenge with Cruella leading the charge and we’ll be able to shout “Bingo” for a full house of corruption, conniving, lies and cronyism.

Rishi Sunak had to do something. A general election is due next year. Perhaps these are good moves?

arranging the deck chairs?
As an outsider looking in I get the impression that Rishi Sunak is getting UK's bad problems temporarily kicked down the road, racism, forced banishment to Africa of some, the economy, the health service, the concerns of the hard pressed tax payer etc.
He had to start somewhere and I think in the long term (if he survives the next 12/14 months) he could be the person to lead the UK into a new age. Also, I'm looking at the opposition and currently I don't see too much there to better Sunak.

The trouble is is that Sunak is weak - he's a multi-millionaire who really can't understand why people are going to food banks, unable to pay bills - he is totally and completely out of touch and just cannot identify or empathise with people. Putting Cleverly in Suella's spot was a good move in terms of Human Rights as Cleverly has previously demonstrated that he still has a soul.
Putting Cameron back in ... I'm not so sure. The name "Cameron" still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth for both Euro supporters and Euro sceptics alike. He really is the veritable soiled underpants.
At this point Sunak really does look like he is scrabbling to try and pull something out of the mire that his party has created over the previous 13 years. They are struggling for workable policies, riven by internal strife and the schisms within the party will happily tear it apart to see their own ideologies prevail.
Right now, Sunak has to watch his back for Suella-shaped knives, pander to the various factions within the party, pad his own nest (well, he's a thieving Tory so that's a given) and prepare his party as best he can for a period in opposition. How long that period is will depend entirely on whether the party wakes up to what the MAJORITY of people actually want (a workable economy, lower bills, ability to get a doctors appointment, a quality of life that's worth having) and stop again pandering to the extremists in the party that want to drag England back to the time when the wealthy "elite" lorded it over the indentured serfs who toiled their fields for pittance with no hope of escape.
Mind you, given the seeming lack of desire by anyone other than migrant workers to undertake harvesting / Fruit picking, perhaps a return to the days of peasants (everyone not enobled or wealthy) being forced to toil the fields would make Britain less reliant on European fruit and veg imports ....

And just on a side note, but of interest to anyone owning property in or living in Spain, Spain once again has stable government with Pedro Sanchez of the PSOE gaining investiture yesterday, Thursday 16th November, to lead the 15th Cortes. So Spain has a Socialist government for another 4 years and next election will be no later than July 2027 I think it is. Chalk one up to the good guys.
And so, back to how well the tories aren't doing.
