David Cameron’s links to China could weaken his role on world stage as UK foreign secretary

Former PM’s promotion of Beijing-backed development in Sri Lanka has increased concern he could be a pawn for China's Xi Jinping.
The fact that everyone knows David Cameron fucked a dead pig in the face could weaken his role.
Honestly it's fucking ridiculous they brought him back.
He's responsible for the referendum. He said he'd implement it if voted for and then immediately quit when the leave vote won.
I wonder if he's popular with their core voters or something. Because I can't see the logic of it.
He's more popular with the swinging soft right voters who move between tory and lib dem (centrist) in the formerly safe tory seats in the south they are now scared they'll lose. He's not particularly popular with core tories as he's a remainer.
The primary reason for the selection is the lack of talent remaining for Sunak to choose from that won't alienate the voters they need to retain a number of Tory seats. Boris purged anyone who wasn't a foaming at the mouth brexiter before the last election, leaving Sunak with ideologues like Braverman & Patel to choose from, who are disliked by everyone bar the very hard right (15-20% of voters absolute tops).
At the moment the polls predict a "blue wall" collapse as severe as the "red wall" collapse at the last election. You don't win back moderates' votes by lurching ever further right.
Hence, moderate PM is bought back into the fold
Does it matter if he's popular? Getting the old skeletons out of the closet and hanging them up again seems to be a pretty popular tactic in western politics right now. The US took obviously demented Biden, the German conservatives are now lead by a guy that lost to Merkel 20 years ago, and now the UK are pulling Cameron back up.
Anything but leading a genuine generational change and moving to politics that do more than cling on to the past.
Oink oink, baby!
The right honorable pigfucker is back! 🐷
