Kay Burley criticised for 'fat shaming' David Cameron after unexpected return
Following the sacking of the home secretary Suella Braverman, prime minister Rishi Sunak has initiated a cabinet reshuffle that has raised some eyebrows thanks to the familiar face of David Cameron, who has surprisingly been appointed foreign secretary. With all eyes (and news cameras) on Number 10, broadcasters were shocked when former PM Cameron emerged from a car that pulled up to Downing Street shortly after the Braverman announcement. Broadcasting live on Sky News, cameras recorded the comings and goings at Downing Street as Kay Burley and Sky News’ deputy political editor Sam Coates commentated over the footage. As Cameron emerged from a black Land Rover, Burley appeared to be in shock and began laughing in disbelief, saying, “I was not expecting that!”. Coates explained what Cameron has done since resigning as the Conservative leader in 2016 following the Leave vote, saying he “never really found his feet after leaving the job of Prime Minister”, having done various jobs and written a memoir. Burley chimed in, commenting that Cameron had also “put on weight” – comments that were very quickly criticised as fat shaming. One person pointed out: “Nah, Kay Burley is so mean. How can she list what David Cameron’s been doing since leaving office, and she says he ‘put on weight.’ What’s that got to do with anything?” Someone else wrote: “‘Put on weight’. Imagine if that was a female ex-PM. The hypocrisy is hilarious.” “Kay Burley is dreadful at her job, obviously, but I wasn't expecting her to fat shame David Cameron for no reason,” someone else argued. Another asked Burley directly: “@KayBurley did you seriously just say, in a list of David Cameron’s post-PM achievements, that he has put on weight??? “Come on. You’re supposed to be a journalist. Imagine you said that about a woman - it’s not ok to fat shame.” The former Prime Minister has been made foreign secretary in Rishi Sunak’s government reshuffle. The shock appointment has seen Cameron enter the Lords to enable him to take up the role. Elsewhere, James Cleverly has been made home secretary following the sacking of Braverman. indy100 has contacted Kay Burley’s representative for comment.

Cesc Fabregas lands first senior management job with Como caretaker role
Former Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas has taken interim charge of Serie B side Como following the departure of head coach Moreno Longo. Fabregas, who played at club level for Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, Monaco and Como, has stepped up from his role as the Italian outfit’s under-19 coach. The 36-year-old finished his playing career with Como last season and will now take his first senior role in management. Mirwan Suwarso, representative of the Como ownership group, said on the club’s Twitter account: “We thank Moreno Longo for all his hard work and dedication, especially after coming in following a difficult period last season. “However, we would like to embark on a new path that hopefully will provide more excitement and entertainment for the fans in Como and beyond. “We hope to make a new appointment for the head coach position in the near future. We thank the fans for understanding and their unwavering loyalty and support. As always, Forza Como.” Como, who are sixth in the table, are not in action again until Saturday, November 25 when they face bottom-placed Feralpisalo.

David Cameron memes: The funniest reactions as former PM makes shock return to government
Former prime minister David Cameron has returned to government as Foreign Secretary and will be made a peer, No 10 said. In a lengthy statement Cameron wrote: "The Prime Minister has asked me to serve as his Foreign Secretary and I have gladly accepted. We are facing a daunting set of international challenges, including the war in Ukraine and the crisis in the Middle East. At this time of profound global change, it has rarely been more important for this country to stand by our allies, strengthen our partnerships and make sure our voice is heard. He added: "While I have been out of front-line politics for the last seven years, I hope that my experience – as Conservative Leader for eleven years and Prime Minister for six – will assist me in helping the Prime Minister to meet these vital challenges. Britain is a truly international country. Our people live all over the world and our businesses trade in every corner of the globe. Working to help ensure stability and security on the global stage is both essential and squarely in our national interest. International security is vital for our domestic security." Rishi Sunak’s reshuffle means that for the first time since 2010 the top four positions in government – Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary – are all held by men: Mr Sunak, Jeremy Hunt, James Cleverly and David Cameron respectively. The last occasion was at the end of Gordon Brown’s Labour government, when these roles were held by Mr Brown, Alistair Darling, Alan Johnson and David Miliband respectively. Labour’s national campaign co-ordinator Pat McFadden said: “A few weeks ago Rishi Sunak said David Cameron was part of a failed status quo, now he’s bringing him back as his life raft. “This puts to bed the Prime Minister’s laughable claim to offer change from 13 years of Tory failure.” Amid Cameron's shock return to government memes about the former PM have predictably gone viral.
