Cameron said in a post on ‘X’, ‘While I may disagree with some individual decisions, it is clear to me that Rishi Sunak is a strong and capable Prime Minister, providing exemplary leadership in difficult times.’

He said: ‘I want to help them deliver the security and prosperity our country needs and be part of the strongest team serving Britain that can be put before the country when the general election comes around.’
