Sir John Redwood has urged Lord Cameron to make clear he now believes in Brexit.<\/p>\n
The former prime minister made a sensational return to frontline politics yesterday when Rishi Sunak made him Foreign Secretary in his reshuffle.<\/p>\n
But Sir John insisted Lord Cameron, who stood down as PM and quit as an MP after losing the 2016 referendum, should say how “proud” he is of Brexit Britain.<\/p>\n
He also urged the Foreign Secretary to pinpoint Brexit freedoms to use to boost the UK’s “global reach and influence”.<\/p>\n
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, the Wokingham MP said: “David Cameron should reassure that he supports the 2019 manifesto to get Brexit done.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“He needs to set out how proud he is of the UK now we are free of EU law and taxes.”<\/p>\n
In a further post, the Brexiteer added: “David Cameron should identify all the Brexit freedoms we can use as he develops the UK\u2019s global reach and influence.”<\/p>\n
Sir John’s intervention comes after Downing Street insisted Lord Cameron believes in Brexit.<\/p>\n
No 10 said the Prime Minister is “looking to the future” as it defended making the ex-PM Foreign Secretary despite his previous opposition to the UK’s departure from the EU.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister’s press secretary said: “We’re at a point now where we are looking to the future, we’re not looking to the past as a party.<\/p>\n
