David Cameron, didn’t you risk an outcome you didn’t believe in to help your political career too?

The former prime minister has cemented his place, alongside Boris Johnson, on the honours board of that definitively English breed of politicians with a lack of curiosity about lives alien to their own

You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. You probably wouldn’t like David Cameron when he’s chillaxed, or in any emotional state whatever. The working title of any shepherd’s hut-based sitcom would be Everybody Hates Dave.

Arch Remainers, no-dealers, everyone in between… not a soul has had a kind word or thought for him in three years. Despising Cameron for the capital crime of countrycide by gross negligence is just about the last thing left that unites us. Even those who wanted their country maimed, and ought to be grateful to him for the referendum, disdain the poor sod.

But an angry Cameron is especially hard to like, and sullen rage radiates from the section of his memoir concerning certain former colleagues, as serialised in the Sunday Times.
