It’s only because Rishi Sunak’s government is so much further to the right that Cameron is now getting an easier ride. But his fundamental politics are just as corrupt.  

As you’d expect, Tony Benn put it more analytically: “I don’t think people understand how the Establishment became established. They simply stole land and property from the poor, surrounded themselves with weak-minded sycophants for protection, gave themselves titles and have been wielding power ever since.”

You couldn’t ask for a clearer example of this than Cameron’s approach to Gaza.
