The former British prime minister was named foreign secretary on Monday, a return as spectacular as it is unexpected to the political arena for the man who initiated the Brexit referendum in 2016.

The name was confirmed on Friday – in full The Rt. The Right Honorable Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton – illustrates his long association with the town of Chipping Norton, in his former constituency of Witney, Oxfordshire, South East England.

When he was prime minister, David Cameron is known to have been a member of the so-called “Chipping Norton group”, an elite group who lived in the area and included, among others, News International chief executive Rebecca Brooks, journalist Jeremy Clarkson , the star of Top Gear, or Elizabeth Murdoch, daughter of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.

Sunak’s office said on Monday that King Charles III had approved giving David Cameron a seat in the House of Lords, allowing him to return to government even though he is no longer an elected member of parliament.

He is due to be formally introduced to the House of Lords on Monday when he is sworn in.
