James O'Brien reacts to the 'shocking' return of David Cameron | LBC 

Not only that, but Rishi campaigning as the 'change' candidate then bringing in the ghost of the 2010's

Unelected PM (not even chosen by his own party) chooses unelected non-MP to represent the country at the highest level. No interviews required

I don't want him. No one wants him, but the govt will be gone and so will he at the next election. I'm still waiting for the next election date for EU commission positions. Ursula I'm always lying may well win in a landslide again, but I won't hold my breath...

The past 10 years of politics are going to make a fantastic History A Level in the future

As mentioned Margaret Thatcher appointed Lord Carrington as her first Foreign Secretary. I know it sounds odd but Sunak in this case has done nothing wrong. Cameron will have someone to speak for him in the House of Commons.

you do not speak for all of us. we can disagree on politics, but we must agree on reality

Wrong. And your opinion isn't fact

Absolutely 💯 agree. The next will be Osborne, running the treasury. What an absolute shambles.

And neither could I let’s expand to labour MPs also parliament wants closing down its past its sell by date

OUT OF THE CUNTRY NEXT YEAR

I get nearly two years of dole on 70% ish of my salary then longer on a sliding decreasing scale, 18 months of sick pay on the roughly the same, great workplace rights, free quality training is offered me despite me not being a german citizen.

Is this because he sacked Braverman? We didn't get to vote on whether Braverman would be home secretary either. 'We' elected the Tories, they chose Sunak as their leader. (He then ditched the manifesto, but that's a different conversation).

Has been for 7 years. No other country looks at the UK and says "wow, theres a stable country who has their stuff together". In answer to the question posed in the video: NO ONE does! David Cameron is not the answer to any kind of problem. I think Sunak is simply grasping at straws here and making a job for anyone who he feels might be popular. Keir Starmer has a very easy job here, stay calm and quiet and let them trip themselves up. Why interrupt the "government" when they are scoring own goals all over the place and looking ridiculous at it.

@@tobyalan8874 The Liberal Democrats have a lot to answer for. They walked away from a coalition with Labour in 2010, paving the way for various disastrous outcomes in the last thirteen years. They are holier than thou and sanctimonious, liberal on social issues ( rightly, in my view) but just as happy as the Tories to bash the poor with cruel and economically illiterate austerity which inhibited the (anemic) recovery. The Orange Book Liberals had no problem with austerity.

I honestly think he wanted to come back to try to spin the legacies of Austerity and Brexit for the shrinking number of people who still buy that nonsense.

And it took an undemocratic emergency lordship to make it happen. Accountability is in tatters 🙁

Both Labour and the Conservatives during the 2010 election believed that Austerity measures needed to be implemented. With the Labour chancellor Alister Darling before the 2010 election already planning for significant cuts in terms of spending if labour won the General election.

@@islaypupdog6750 Austerity is part of neoliberalism meaning both parties are wrong to support it. Labour surrendered to Thatcherism under Blair and therein lies the problem. Austerity is also economically illiterate as it inhibits recovery and worsens living standards- the poor spend a greater proportion of their income on goods and services locally. The whole neoliberal paradigm since 1979 needs to be reversed. Period.

Foreign affairs. Which makes it worse 😂. James cleverly is the home secretary... A man already found to have been in breach of the ministerial code regarding Israeli arms deals in 2021.

Actually he fought against Brexit so quitting was the right thing to do. Much better to have someone who truly believes in Brexit to implement it rather than someone who is half-hearted. Perhaps his return reflects a shift in the Tory party on Brexit. Will Rory Stewart also be returning?

If he didnt believe in it and wasnt prepared to go through with it ahould not have brought about a vote to appease the hardliners in his party.

Actually, Cameron is Foreign Secretary. James Cleverly has taken Braverman's job.

He didn't sell brexit per say. He made a terrible mistake calling the referendum to begin with, but he created part of the environment where racism and xenophobia spread like wildfire amongst people who were being hurt by his austerity policies. So he is 100% responsible for brexit occurring, alongside the grifters who promoted it.

​@@ecaeas4439he didn't want brexit ...others had "promised" a referendum Blair included but never ment it ...Cameron was cornered by Nigel threatening the jobs of Tory MPs ...and the EU humiliating him when he went to get some help from em !

Yup, James cleverly, an easily detestable man... found in 2021 to be in breach of the ministerial code regarding Israeli arms deals. He's been hired to replace suella, who was sacked after undermining the police regarding a protest against Israeli weapons being used on civilians 😅😅 Someone please wake from this cheese dream

I don’t agree with Brexit and I pledge no allegiance to any party. But it’s no job I’d want. You can never ever be given any kind of approval or positive acknowledgment. What was Cameron to do , call a referendum when there were calls for it. Give the people a democratic choice or refuse. I’m certain he’d have been smashed to bits of he didn’t back then. At least he actually gave choice to the public. Some of the things going on these days are controversial and we have no say at all it seems. Given, Brexit was fuelled with lies - that’s another point. But it’s easy to point and blame. Impossible for them to ever get anything right. It seems to me the data they receive and the means in which it’s gathered needs modernising. They are all completely out of touch in every possible way.

Yeah, a representative of the returner majority... They could run an election on that?

@@endintiers Its not just Cameron's position on Brexit but also his position on Palestine that differs from the current Tory policy. Years ago he declared Gaza an open air prison. These are two positions that are popular with the British public. If Sunak also allows the likes of Rory Stewart or Jo Johnson back in then Labour should watch out for that would really indicate a major shift and Keir Starmer is not very popular.

@@davidsmith5523 It remains to be seen but probably. At the very least a secret returner.

Personally i wouldn't worry about it too much. Private schools have better sports facilities and are able to give their students a slightly unfair leg-up in some respects, but you have to offset these advantages against a general atmosphere of snobbery, moral decay and institutionalisation of the pupils. A quick glance at certain past and present tory front benchers ought to be proof enough that private education is more about perpetution of privilege then nurturing the imagination of young minds in order to enrich society...

Well, this is not an alien concept for most of Europe. We are an oddity for having a system that favours majority governments. At least the Lib Dems could inhibit some of Tory policy.

Vote Lib Dem, Green or SNP.

When did "the country" vote for the Lib Dems to be in power? Of the people that bothered to vote in 2010, 32.4% voted Conservative, 35.2% voted Labour and 22.0% voted Lib Dem. However, the way you describe the situation anyone would think the Lib Dems had the largest percentage.

Not actually true, they were the third wheel, effectively kingmakers, who refused to negotiate with Labour who had the most MPs, and chose to get into bed with Cameron and the Tories, the reward from the voters in 2015 was political oblivion.
