THE newly-ennobled David Cameron joined his first Cabinet meeting under Rishi Sunak today as feuding Tory Right-wingers were urged to unite under the Prime Minister's revamped top team.
The former PM took his place at the top table inside No10 after his shock return as Foreign Secretary, while the outspoken Suella Braverman was fired from the Home Office, as Mr Sunak promoted a raft of centrists from the Cameron era in the build-up to a general election next year.
"A warm welcome to those for whom it's their first Cabinet and also a welcome to those for whom it may not be their first time," the premier told his new frontbench team.
"Our purpose is nothing less than to make the long-term decisions that are going to change our country for the better. I know that this strong and united team is going to deliver that change for everybody," Mr Sunak added.
He noted it was an "important week", with inflation figures and the Supreme Court's Rwanda ruling expected tomorrow before Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement next Wednesday.
