There have been reshuffles in the British government.

Several ministers, including Health Minister Thérèse Coffey, Home Secretary Suella Braverman, and Foreign Secretary James Cleverly, as well as several junior ministers, were relieved of their positions throughout Monday. Cleverly, however, immediately returned to the government but in a new role.

The main sensation was not the dismissal of ministers but the return of former Prime Minister David Cameron to the government. He will lead the Foreign Office.

Read more about why high-profile resignations and appointments are happening now, why British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak chose the "political retiree" Cameron, and whether this will affect London's policy towards Ukraine in the article by Oleh Pavliuk, a European Pravda journalist – Foreign Minister: UK is changing ministers and bringing David Cameron back to power.

British media had been speculating about the possible resignation of the UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman since last week. However, Sunak's decision took much longer to mature and was expected by many.

The public reason, or trigger, leading to the dismissal of the Home Office Secretary, was her article in The Times. Braverman complained about the London police, indicating them to more actively detain pro-Palestinian protesters.

But the "Palestinian motive" was more of a pretext for Braverman's dismissal. The Prime Minister had reasons to part ways with her before this story.

The politician had been involved in scandalous stories before.

The critical position of the Home Office Secretary was instead given to Foreign Secretary James Cleverly – another conditional Sunak's "loyalist."

Equally interesting is the figure of his successor as the British Foreign Secretary. Former Prime Minister David Cameron, whom Sunak brought out of political oblivion, has taken on this role.

Cameron, 57, became the youngest British Prime Minister in 200 years when he formed the country's first coalition government since World War II in 2010.

His six-year premiership was marked by unpopular austerity policies amid the global financial crisis, the legalisation of same-sex marriages, and, of course, two referendums – on Scottish independence in 2014 and on the UK's exit from the EU. While the first referendum ended as Cameron planned, with a vote against Scottish independence, the Brexit referendum became a political fiasco for him.

Why did Sunak bring a former prime minister "out of retirement"?

Moreover, one who left office due to his own mistake?

Several reasons can be speculated.

It's both a banal personnel shortage given the Tories' falling popularity and the expected crushing defeat of the Conservative Party in the next year's elections. It's also internal disputes within the Conservative Party. And it's an attempt to secure the support of a heavyweight, who also has no leadership ambitions (i.e., is not a competitor to Sunak) but can provide advice.

Cameron has victories to his credit besides those failures with the referendum.

And the experience of Cameron as a former prime minister will be useful in the role of the Foreign Office Secretary.

However, Cameron's return carries its risks. The former prime minister actively advocated for closer ties between the UK and China, which is now fundamentally unacceptable.

Reports emerged that he was promoting the interests of a Chinese investment project less than a month ago. Therefore, partners will closely monitor the Foreign Office's policy in this area.

What about Ukraine? It can be confidently stated: there is no threat.

Of course, the return of David Cameron to the British government and other reshuffles do not imply a change in London's policy towards Ukraine.
