POOR old David Cameron. All he wanted to do was run the country into the ground while simultaneously greasing the palms of the wealthy and lining his own pockets in the time-honoured tradition of all Tory premiers — and he couldn’t even get that right.

Having effectively forced his own resignation over the result of the EU referendum which he called, Cameron was probably hoping for a few months to “chillax” before he jumped on the gruelling treadmill that is the after-dinner speaking circuit cash cow.

Unfortunately for him, what was supposed to be a golden handshake is looking more and more like a golden shower.
