Holding Lord Cameron to Account
Alongside Prime Minister, Home Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer, Foreign Secretary is one of the great offices of the British state. It is a post that has been held by such luminaries as the Duke of Wellington, Anthony Eden, and…Boris Johnson. The position holder is required to carefully manage the relationship of the UK with other states.
The current Foreign Secretary is the former prime minister, David Cameron. His shock return to politics came with a life peerage. This allows Lord Cameron to take up the post from the House of Lords.
While this was no doubt a convenient solution for Rishi Sunak, it also presents a problem for MPs.
