The Conservative Party

[Brewster's millions]

Exactly.

I didn't vote for him or support a lot of his and Osborne's policies but good god, he's not a total nutcase. Which these days seems to be how low the bar is.

I can see why Sunak would be desperate to get him back to reclaim the centre ground lost to Starmer but I can't see a single reason why Cameron would want to go into that shit show and further damage his legacy.

Personally I don’t think Cameron has that much to lose if his arrival results in a move back towards the centre ground and he can certainly add a bit of heft to the cabinet, which isn’t exactly stacked with talent.

He’s basically got 12 months to make an impact and regardless of how he left office, which I found very disappointing although not entirely surprising, he did win two very tight elections and he was popular with a part of the electorate the Conservative Party will need to appeal to next year if they have any chance.

Also, from his own personal perspective, having a spell as Foreign Secretary will allow him to refresh his contacts which will prove very helpful for his consulting work / directorships further down the line.

The BBC political editor has just pointed out that it's only a couple of weeks since Sunak was promoting himself as the ''change'' PM and Cameron was calling him an idiot for scrapping HS2.

So, in a desperate and vain attempt to win the approval of the electorate, Sunak resurrects the political career of David Cameron, the **** unwittingly responsible, in a large part, for the clusterfuck that is the post Brexit economic wasteland. A master stroke second only to Cameron's decision to hold a referendum on Europe in the first place. Given the fickle nature of the voting public, let's hope they're not allowed to forget it.

Once again they mention stopping the boats. They really are unfit for office.

Really doesn’t say much for the current Conservative Party that there wasn’t a single option in parliament they thought could do the role.

With all that’s going on in the world currently having a statesman doing the job, rather than some ambitious MP trying to make a name for themselves in the next 9 odd months, is a great move.

A Remainer in charge of our relations with foreign countries ......maybe the first step in getting back into the EU.


Things may be a lot worse than we imagined.

Does that mean we can try to cancel Robbie Savage?

I feel a bit sorry for Sunak. One slip of the tongue and people keep banging on about it.

When he said stopping the boats he really meant stopping the trains.

And he's doing a sterling job at that to be fair to him.
