David Cameron makes unexpected comeback to government as he’s spotted entering Downing Street
David Cameron has made a shock comeback after he was seen entering Downing Street this morning, amid a reshuffle.
No, you've not had a bump on the head, you read that right, the former Prime Minister, who left seven years ago, looks to be back.
The shocking news comes as Home Secretary Suella Braverman was given the boot this morning.
The, let's say, divisive cabinet minister has come in for a heap of criticism of late over her handling of the 'migrant crisis', and more recently the demonstrations that took place over the weekend.

Many blamed Braverman for stirring up division and creating a situation that led to some pretty grim and violent clashes during the Remembrance Day protests.
But now she's gone, a spot has just opened in her old role.
James Cleverly has just been announced as the new Home Sec, moving on from his job as Foreign Secretary.
This means Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will have to find a replacement for him, and many believe Cameron could be just the guy to do it.
The former PM, who led the country between 2010 and 2016, quitting immediately after the result of the Brexit vote, was seen jumping out of an expensive car and into Number 10 this morning.
The question you'll now no doubt be asking is: how can Cameron become a cabinet minister if he's not an MP?
Well, it turns out that he can; all Sunak would have to do is get him sworn into the House of Lords ASAP and then he's sorted.
Number 10 has now confirmed his return, with the 57-year-old replacing Cleverly as the Foreign Sec.
In a post to Twitter, the official Number 10 account announced Cameron's return.
It said: "The Rt Hon @David_Cameron has been appointed Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs @FCDOGovUK."
