Rishi Sunak is facing a backlash from the right of the Conservative Party after bringing David Cameron back in his Cabinet reshuffle. Mr Cameron was made Foreign Secretary after Suella Braverman was ousted from the Cabinet on Monday, with James Cleverly replacing her as Home Secretary . But the controversial move has not been welcomed by everyone in the party.
Former minister Dame Andrea Jenkyns submitted a furious letter of no confidence in Mr Sunak to the Tory backbench 1922 Committee as a result of the decision. Hardline MPs - including Deputy Tory chairman Lee Anderson - also gathered at a Commons meeting, where concerns were shared about the removal of Ms Braverman. Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg said Ms Braverman “seems to have been sacked for following Conservative policy and principles too loudly” while Lord Frost wrote in the Telegraph that the reshuffle showed that the PM was taking the country “back to the past”. Former MP Nadine Dorries criticised Mr Cameron's appointment and peerage - telling LBC it is "easy" for someone who went to Eton
