The government said Cameron will be appointed to Parliament's unelected upper chamber, the House of Lords. His appointment was welcomed by more centrist Conservatives, who say his international experience will help steady the ship.

Cameron, who was Britain's leader from 2010 to 2016 before quitting after losing the Brexit referendum, has replaced James Cleverly -- who was appointed interior minister.

Cleverly replaced interior minister Suella Braverman, who was sacked by UK Prime Miniser Rishi Sunak after she recently accused police of being too lenient with pro-Palestinian protesters.

The government said Braverman has left her job as part of a Cabinet shuffle.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was facing escalating calls to sack Suella Braverman following her decision to bypass advice from Downing Street and proceed with the publication of a contentious piece.

Cameron's appointment came as a surprise to seasoned politics-watchers. It's rare for a non-lawmaker to take a senior government post, and it has been decades since a former prime minister held a Cabinet job.
