Guess Who's Back, Back Again

Surprise! David Cameron is back. Now Lord Cameron, the former prime minister has been appointed foreign secretary by Rishi Sunak. It was undoubtedly the most surprising moment of the reshuffle earlier this week. Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss what it might tell us about the Tory party.
There was also a fraught vote on support for a ceasefire in Gaza. Fifty-six Labour MPs, including some frontbenchers, defied the whip and voted for it, in opposition to the party's line on humanitarian pauses. Lisa Nandy discussed the situation at a Westminster lunch attended.
