MP Mr Holden claims that the Conservatives still have significant support across the country, including the North of England. The appointment of Mr Cameron is seen as a reinforcement of this support, although it may not be as straightforward as it seems.

Speaking to Times Radio on Tuesday morning, Mr Holden, who represents the seat of North West Durham, kept repeating, over and again, that the Conservatives still enjoyed vast swathes of support across the country, including the North of England.

Whilst there is no doubt that Mr Cameron represents a safe pair of hands at the Foreign Office, and despite some well-publicised spats with Mr Sunak - including over the Prime Minister’s decision to scrap the northern leg of HS2, only last month - his appointment might not necessarily be the simple sticking plaster it first appears.

Editorial in Chinese state media recounts 'dawn of golden era' under CameronDavid Cameron's return to government has been warmly received by Chinese state media, judged an opportunity to 'breathe new life into the China-UK relationship'. An op-ed published by The Global Times on Tuesday highlighted Xi Jinping's 'highly successful' state visit to London in October 2015, when Cameron was Prime Minister. It described the 'dawn of a golden era' of warm relations between China and the UK', relations disrupted, they say, in part 'due to the malign influence of Washington'. The article also warned of a 'Sino-phobic hard right-wing element within the UK's ruling Tory party' and pointed to inconsistent policy under Sunak, which has seen the relationship 'deteriorate'. But with Cameron's return as Foreign Secretary, the author claims 'it is reasonable to speculate whether the warm relations will get back on track'
