As David Cameron steps back from frontline politics and resigns from the shadow cabinet, James O'Brien considers how much he is to blame for 'Britain's decline'.
Cameron, who had served as Foreign Secretary in Rishi Sunak's government up until the election, will be replaced by Andrew Mitchell, who served as Foreign Office Minister in Government.
The former PM said taking on the role had been a "huge honour", adding that he was "delighted" the role had gone to a "good friend".
It follows the Conservatives' election drubbing, which saw them drop to just 121 seats - their lowest in the party's history.
"It’s been a huge honour to serve as Foreign Secretary, but clearly the Conservative Party in opposition will need to shadow the new Foreign Secretary from the Commons," Cameron said.

Our country is in jeopardy because we spent billions bailing out the banking sector, which is the UK’s biggest and strongest industry. The banking sector needed bailing out after Blair had deregulated the sector, allowing Commercial Banks to take part in investment banking activities, hence why Labour ended up losing their seats. So you’re wrong there, respectfully. Cameron came in to power in a position forced to commit to austerity. Since then, The country’s debt has exponentially increased, people expect more without the ability to pay for anything, so they have resorted to leasing and borrowing. This is why austerity has continued for so long, because the debt is getting worse, and the country is in a position where it is forced to continually scrunch on public resources due to a never-ending deficit.

@maximyles 12 дней назад

Tories have failed in a bunch of metrics, and I can’t speak on every decision Cameron made in Power, but I have to say - on the two things he is blamed for; Austerity and Brexit, both were sensible. The UK made their vote, and Austerity was simply a necessity at the time. Perhaps it should’ve gone even further. I think the failings were due to some of the Politicians after. May should’ve gone for a second referendum due to the low proportions of people who actually came out to vote, and the misinformation being spread at the time.

James, no atter what you or I think of John Major, he was interviewed before the Brexit vote and he laid out exactly what would happen if Britain left the EU. He was so spot on and accurate it was like he had a crystal ball. If anyone can dig out that interview it was astonishing his insight on exactly what would happen, and it did. I''m Irish and always hated the Tory party, especially Thatcher and Johnson and Cameron (jumped ship after the vote in 2016) and John Major being a Tory I had no time for him. But that interview should be played over and over again because he said what he said before the vote, not years after when it was easy to see what was happening. If the British electorate are capable of voting for a stinking fish like Brexit what else are they capable of? Starmer should be honest with the electorate that Brexit was a disaster and now that everyone in Britain wants back in what is he afraid of? Let him show some guts and name Brexit as the worst thing that has happened to Britain since WW2, and Thatcher of course who was a dictator in a democracy.

Tories' decline began in 2016 when Cameron called for a referendum, lost, stepped down and since then the country had two general elections in 2017 and 2019 and four prime ministers, one of them having the shortest reign in history.

Arrogance was his undoing. He was certain that remain would win. He didn't want to enter another coalition again and also wanted to silence UKIP and right wingers in his own party. He thought calling the referendum was brilliant.

To be fair, the Remain Campaign was kind of poor. It was only really Sadiq Khan who displayed any level of passion for Remain during the campaign. And unfortunately, for some people, his view doesn't matter because he's Sadiq Khan.

You track it from Cameron's decision point when he could have specified that a 68% majority must be achieved , that it was to be binding and "once in a generation". He would have been covered. Arrogant as well as over privileged and dense. And let's not forget "The Big Society" .

David Cameron wanted a second term, so he promised the referendum. He was never prepared that the public would vote for for Brexit. Jeremy Corbyn is equally to blame for not asking Labour supporters to vote against Brexit.

@TheRflynn 13 дней назад

He got lucky. All the subsequent Tory PM choices were so bad that they distract from Cameron’s single magnificent mistake.

@MikePhillips-pl6ov 13 дней назад

He also took a gamble on Scottish independence and got away with that, and his imposing of austerity had greater dire economic effects than Brexit

Starmer should initiate a more comprehensive investigation into Greensill and do what is right with financial penalties and prison time for the corrupt. The same with those involved in the theft of Covid-19 government budgets.

How many people remember *why* he was called "Dodgy Dave" by Dennis Skinner? I do and suggest people look it up. Cameron never actually answered the question asked by Skinner.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is a clear example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. But, Camaron is indeed the real villain of Brexit. The enabler of the likes of Farage and Johnson.

@DannyMercer1993 13 дней назад

I blame it all on Cameron and Osborne. Austerity cut deeper and broader and longer than required. It was ideology. A group of Etonians excited to cosplay as thatcher. It fuelled Brexit as JOB described, Warwick Uni studies drew the link, and broke our systems just before Covid. He failed with levelling up, left us more inequitable than ever and ruined growth. There was no focus on energy security, no focus on safety, and a morally abhorrent increase in morbidity and mortality in the NHS throughout their tenure. The apex of this is the decisions C&O made from 2010 onwards.
