Resurrected Former PM has experience, but appointment is not without risk
The Guardian Weekly|November 17, 2023

Resurrected Former PM has experience, but appointment is not without risk

But with only a year to go till the next election and two of the biggest foreign policy crises to face the UK since the Iraq war, Sunak will hope that Cameron's major contribution will be to bring an air of stability and authority to the UK's foreign policy.

The perception overseas has been that Britain has been a country at best suffering strategic drift and at worst on the verge of a nervous political breakdown. Only the contribution in Ukraine - playing to British security and defence strengths and the UK's intangible soft power have prevented decline turning into something worse.

Celeriac soup with almond pangrattato

I'm not ashamed to say that as soon as September hits, my stick blender comes out. Just as I embrace salads when the clocks go forward in the UK, I wholeheartedly throw myself into soup season once the summer holidays end. Autumn is approaching in the northern hemisphere and I'm ready with my ladle. Celeriac is one of my favourite soup heroes, because it gives the creamiest, silkiest finish with little effort. You don't have to make the almond pangrattato, but it is a wonderful addition.
