Moment BBC Chief Political Correspondent Henry Zeffman airs bewildered report that former PM David Cameron has arrived at No 10 cabinet reshuffle

For political journalists, cabinet reshuffles rarely bring many surprises as the same faces are rotated through various government roles again and again.

So BBC correspondent Henry Zeffman could be forgiven for his bafflement this morning as one very familiar face appeared without warning.

The reporter could not contain his surprise as he spotted David Cameron, who has not been seen in politics since stepping down as prime minister in 2016, arriving at Number 10.

The BBC Chief Political Correspondent was standing outside Downing Street when the events unfolded.

Mr Zeffman said to the camera that he 'didn't think he had taken a funny turn' as he saw the former Tory leader enter the building, but revealed it looked like the 57-year-old would become Mr Sunak's new Foreign Secretary.

The BBC reporter said: 'I'm a bit tired but I don't think I've had a funny turn. But David Cameron has just gone into 10 Downing Street.

'I think, but I don't know, but I think that means he's going to be the new Foreign Secretary.'  

Mr Zeffman had been reporting live all morning from Downing Street following the announcement that Suella Braverman had been sacked as Home Secretary, after she defied No 10 over an article accusing the Met Police of bias in the policing of protests over the weekend. 

Mrs Braverman was accused of stoking tension in an article in The Times, in which she accused the police applying a 'double standard' and took a tougher stance with Right-wing demonstrations.

The article was not cleared by No 10 and it later emerged Mrs Braverman had defied a Downing Street request to tone the article down.

Critics have blamed her for inflaming violence, with far-Right counter-protesters taking to the streets, although the Tories are badly split with supporters saying the grim scenes in the capital proved her right.

A Downing Street source said: 'Rishi Sunak has asked Suella Braverman to leave government and she has accepted.'

In an ominous response, Ms Braverman said: 'It has been the greatest privilege of my life to serve as Home Secretary. I will have more to say in due course.'

James Cleverly has been announced as her replacement, leaving the post of Foreign Secretary currently vacant, which Mr Cameron is now set to take. 

Mr Cameron could be given a seat in the House of Lords to take up his new position, as he has not been an MP since 2016. 

He is the first member of the Upper House to hold the role since Lord Carrington in the 1980s.

Just weeks ago, Mr Cameron condemned Mr Sunak's decision to downgrade the HS2 rail project.

Other major jobs are expected to switch hands, with Health Secretary Steve Barclay and Environment Secretary Therese Coffey tipped as being under threat.

But Jeremy Hunt is staying as Chancellor with barely a week until the Autumn Statement.

Lower down the food chain, health minister Neil O'Brien and long-serving education minister Nick Gibb have announced they are leaving government.

More than 100 arrests were made after clashes involving far-Right groups and pro-Palestine protesters in central London on Saturday

Ahead of Saturday's protest, the then Home Secretary branded it a 'hate march' and accused officers of 'playing favourites' with protesters. Last night, amid rumours of a Cabinet reshuffle, she doubled down on her comments.

In uncompromising language, Mrs Braverman tweeted that chants, placards and posters carried by some protesters were 'clearly criminal' and marked a 'new low'.

She added: 'Anti-semitism and other forms of racism together with the valorising of terrorism on such a scale is deeply troubling.

'This can't go on. Week by week, the streets of London are being polluted by hate, violence, and anti-Semitism. 

'Members of the public are being mobbed and intimidated. Jewish people in particular feel threatened. Further action is necessary.'
