‘Zero chance’ Cameron will bring peace to the Middle East as foreign secretary
Former prime minister David Cameron leaving Downing Street, central London after being appointed Foreign Secretary and will be made a peer, November 13, 2023

PEACE in the Middle East looked a long way off today as former prime minister David Cameron was set to be appointed foreign secretary in the Cabinet reshuffle.

Stop the War Coalition said the architect of austerity’s “foreign policy legacy is one of death, destruction and misery in Libya and Syria.

“There’s zero chance of him bringing any peace to the Middle East. Just more war and misery.”

National Education Union general secretary Daniel Kebede said of Nick Gibb standing down as schools minister: “Since 2010, Nick Gibb has been a near constant presence throughout a period in which the education system in England has been battered from pillar to post.”
