David Cameron: Boris Johnson backed Leave to 'help career'

United Kingdom Headlines News

United Kingdom Latest News, United Kingdom Headlines

Mr Cameron called the 2016 poll after promising it in the Conservative Party's election manifesto.

"Whichever senior Tory politician took the lead on the Brexit side - so loaded with images of patriotism, independence and romance - would become the darling of the party," he says. And of Mr Gove - a cabinet minister both now and then - he said:"I couldn't believe what I was seeing. "She used every announcement, interview and speech to hammer the government on immigration, even though she was part of that government," he writes.Image copyrightMr Cameron said the behaviour of Priti Patel, his former education minister, shocked him the most

"Hulk always escaped, no matter how tightly bound in he seemed to be - and that is the case for this country," he said in an interview with the paper."We will come out on 31 October and we will get it done." But when he pledged in his party's 2015 manifesto to hold a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU, the focus shifted.

Another Washed up MP trying to flog a book about how successful he was while blaming everyone else for the mess he left behind. All he should be remembered for is leaving his daughter behind in a pub.

Obviously

Boris bashing again. But it isn’t working. Never learn the media. We saw through you years ago

He probably did, so what? What is 'Diamond' Dave's excuse? He dropped the country in a world of sh*t, and lacked the tackle to see it through. Why don't you ask him that? At least BorisJohnson has the tackle to see it through.

The pot calling the kettle black.

Obv

‘ I backed leave to leave

Who gives a **** what he says, the man is a total irrelevance and needs to crawl back into his hole !!

Boris is doing a better job of delivering the votes of 17.4 million people than Cameron, who just resigned! Why are you allowing Cameron to criticize ? Should you not remind Cameron of how he failed the people? Why do you give these people a platform?

We'll probably never know, but one thing we do know is that Cameron got us into this mess by allowing the referendum, he was supposed to be governing the country not passing on making difficult decisions.

Silly man.

Sour grapes from the man who only held a referendum because he was sure remain would win and then didn't have the balls to see through the result. hintcameron had you actually negotiated with Brussels before the referendum instead of going through the motions you may have got it

And you gave him he open goal 🙄

Don’t trust a deserter Cameron go back to the rock you climbed out of

So let's see... BBC News enjoying so much everything he is saying, and quoting from his just released book, and oh look! there's the Cameron Years starting this week on BBC 1... coincidence?

smart move then cos he new hed win

A couple of political puppets keeping the cattle occupied whilst they are robbed, enslaved and skinned by the Controllers.

Because none of us knew that already. Sheesh, Dave, don’t you have something new?

And cameron brought referendum in attempt to hang on to power....... both of em

Cameron backed leave to end his career, but now he has just published a book he now wants you to buy it 🧐

Is that not what all politicians do? eg RoryStewartUK backing May’s surrender document - and it worked. Initially... Incidentally I just heard Swinson saying the LDs will not be doing a deal with RS. Excellent.

Well it's bloody working!! Anyone else find the timing of the release of his autobiography a little to convenient!!

And you Mr Cameron gave ‘the people’ a referendum to decide our future. And when you didn’t like the result, you bailed out. Coward

Funny how someone has just reappeared after all this time. OH hang on he has a book to sell 🤔🤔🤔🤔

And Cameron held a referendum to help his career, the only problem was he lost.

Please don’t put more coffers into the Cameron bank account.

Who wants to be Millionaire..? Blame it on Boris Johnson..!!!!!

That’s not exactly news

To think I used to think he was ok. Boy was I wrong.

Why are you even banging on about Cameron

David_Cameron what a shocker!? Didn’t you do just the same with the referendum or are you suffering from selective amnesia!

Wouldn't surprise me , much better of voting Brexit Party.

Hahahah go back to smoking dope Cameron You waste of space

Sounds a rubbish book if that’s all he can say

Just promoting his book, nothing else.

Even before that, you called for the referendum just to fulfill your personal objectives and didn’t bother to gamble with nation’s future! Before pointing finger to others point to yourself.

and Dave backed Remain to end his

No. You don't say.

No shit. And half of Britain was easily fooled.

Tell us something new!!

*BREAKING NEWS*... Who would have thought

That's the sheer hypocrisy of MP's?! We KNOW they're in it for THEMSELVES!! 😡 😠 🤬 DUH. Least Bojo is actively working on getting it done & over with!! BYE BYE BRUSSELS!!!!!!! 🎉

Like you didn’t Cameron you help put us in this mess and run

Rather have boris open,honest, trying, than your lot any day, seems to be bk stabbing, lying seems to be the way it is in parliament, no one knows whats really true, thats why we vote on policy, and take into account the lying...

As andreajenkyns said yesterday: 'Brexit belongs to the people, not the politicians'

Why a utter shyster Cameron is.

Liars conference.

Don’t get me wrong I do not doubt that Boris only went with Leave to further his career but at least he had his finger on the pulse of what the country wanted. It’s Cameron’s fault we are in this mess- but his arrogance that Remain would win meant there was no Remain campaign

And David Cameron was so good at the job Cheap shots to sell his book from the man who was so far removed from the people he didn't see it coming then walked away when the result didn't go his way.

What people will do to sell a book, perfect timing Mr Cameron, I for one won’t be buying this shite.

Well obviously, he wrote two articles for his column, one pro Brexit and one pro remain and then waiting to see which one would give him the best chance of forwarding his career 🤦🏻‍♀️

David Cameron behaving like a bitchy little school girl

Who cares. Just ensure our Democracy and Prescription are followed and we leave that s EU. End of.

Cameron should crawl back under the rock where he's been hiding for the last 3 yrs. He called the referendum and then ran the worst campaign in living memory next to T May's at the last election.

Rubbish. politicsofenvy

Don’t need DavidCameron to tell us that! BorisJohnson & michaelgove have a validated history of lying & being motivated by their narcissism & self seeking egotism. That’s why they’re Conservatives ; ME ME ME FIRST; MONEY MONEY MONEY ME ME ME FIRST 🤮🤮

If the BBC does not advertise; why have they tried to sell this book since it came out? Worse than a insurance advert. If Laura had a book out I feel justified. Didn't some one say 'It’s her job to ask difficult questions' I respect her because she does. David should crawl back

What a load of stupid, ill informed people Brexiteers are. They will follow known liars even when they know they are liars, and they have been fed lies about the EU all their lives by tax cheats who put their money abroad and want power in the country.

True, he dithered to start with, not sure which way to jump. He guessed right but has got the job he wanted under circumstances that may see him out of office almost immediately.

Go away David_Cameron what have you been doing for the three years. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 you progressed your career and made your money and now it is someone else’s turn - let it be sajidjavid BorisJohnson David_Cameron

David Cameron walked away. No need to criticise anyone else for trying to implement the vote of the democratic majority.

David Cameron has had his day. He was 'outed' then. And he must stay out now.

Also reveals bears DO shit in the woods..

BREAKING NEWS.....Baby Sam Gyimah throws his toys out of the pram and stomps out of the room because he didn't get his own way. BREAKING NEWS.....No one cares what Cameron says and no one wants to buy his book

Backfired?

Cameron In Desperate push by other rebels?

MURMINGS civil unrest , likely harsh winter .

Yawn.....another book published

Blah blah blah. WGAS what he has to say anymore?

The old saying springs to mind. 'You can fool some of the people all of the time....' toriesout

David Cameron called the referendum to save his career, backfired spectacularly and caused permanent damage to the UK. Thanks Dave!

Anyone would think he’s got a book out?

So how did Boris know leave was going to win ?

How vicious and stupid is Cameron? He skulks off and hides for 4 years then returns to try to flog his moaning book for Christmas and starts slagging off people who are trying to sort out the Conservative Remainers mess

Get away.

No shit. Just like every politician ever invented.

And 3/4 of parliament are refusing to accept the referendum result because of their own self interest , so what’s new .

Book available now on Amazon. Only £15.

He is trying to sell a book FFS anyone falls for this BS must buy the book and look at more lies from the master of lies, remember, it's the people who decide not the politicians, a classic lie Cameron

Boris has always done this, right back to his uni days. Stood as a Tory for head of student union. Lost. Next year strides a Lib Dem. won. He’s a liar and unless you stand to make money from the chaos or have money in offshore accounts you don’t want taxing then watch out

Will be remembered as the coward who ran & hid in a shed!

Well, yeah

a bit like Corbyn is now then

Does this man think it's safe to come out of hiding after the shit storm he created, loser should have his citizenship removed and be banished from the realm!!!

Brexit wont happen. May's deal was the only game in town and they threw it away because of the hard leave dogma. We'll waste a few years on nothing then go back to how we were pre-referendum. 🙄They'll probably have another vote and remain will win. Chance to leave long gone now.

With so many deniers and betrayers of democracy against him, that’s questionable.

This is a little rich coming from a man who called a referendum to save his own career. Those in glass houses etc etc

Thats a little rich coming from a career politician who risked everything on an advisory referendum.

Says the snivelling snake who ducked out of being responsible for the mess he created.

No shit. The same reason he became Mayor of London. blowisjobson itsallaboutboris

And this is news to who?

Smart man, how did backing Remain work out for Dishface?

I hope this comes back to bite BorisJohnson and his legacy is being the most unpopular PM ever!

True,and what about Cameron?

David Cameron is another Tony Blair. He f😠cks up the country, dissappears for a couple of years, then makes a comeback and tries to be wise. Stop giving him publicity.

Cameron is a filthy lying coward he ran away from the front line. Now he wants the limelight as a mediawhore to sell his poxy book. Nobody cares about him

And this is ‘news’!

David Cameron would pick on Boris. He forgets who triggered having a referendum to also help his legacy

Cameron backed remain for the same reason, like Blair and Major. Shame it backfired on Cameron isn't it. His arrogance was overwhelming.

Fighting for remain was the way to go further a career wasn't it David. So out of touch with public as are most of politicians

It seems to have worked

Well that’s certainly worked out for BorisJohnson, how have David_Cameron’s & theresa_may’s perfidious EU remain plans served them? What a coincidence, Dave’s got a book to sell, & the BBC has column inches of bilious remain propaganda to fill GeneralElectionNow BackBoris

Wish he would just do one.

He is totally to blame for all this madness. It's like someone striking a match to set a fire and trying to blame the match when the house burns down.

No shit Sherlock. If this is the level of “revelation” in David_Cameron ‘s book, I’ll give it a miss. Maybe a Mister Men book will have more substance?

Ha...!! Rich coming from him, who never did anything for any other reason......!!

In the next chapter he claims that bears shit in the woods!

What in the heavens ! Cameron talking about others looking after their careers? Ha Ha Ha some one ask him ? what did he do ? Talk about the kettle calling the pot black . Give us a break Mr Cameron. We are all in it together ! Indeed ¿¿¿¿¿

TonyFBPE No shit! 🙄

Walk away no deal

Dear Brussels Broadcasting Corporation you do realise that you are becoming a joke of a news agency? I assume you have stopped pretending to be unbiased and impartial right? Load of old tripe! YouYouSo are So pro Europe its silly!

WhatsNew

Hmmm and Cameron/osbourne were saints. I think he is overlooking the reason why it occurred in the first place. Arrogance and the rise of UKIP? The campaign was appalling on all sides, just like the Indy ref before it.

So, basically Gove: betrayed his friendship with and brought down Cameron, persuaded then betrayed & brought Johnson's 1st leadership bid down, brought Cummings into Leave campaign & thus brought Cummings, through Johnson's 2nd go, into No 10. So,the villain of the piece is Gove?

Referendum is to get public decisions

And Cameron called one to save this.. you’re all a bunch of clowns

And Popes shit in the woods.

Of course he did ,it was political decision ,nothing to do with his beliefs.

No, are you sure Sherlock.....🙄

Wow!

It doesn't matter as he's the only politician trying to carry out the wishes of the people. If he gets a promotion out of it, fair enough. Look at all the slime balls leaping between parties to save their own skins. If they believed they were right they'd hold a by election

Oh shut up Cameron . Bloody he’ll they’re all creeping out of the woodwork.

Well they all have an agenda . And Cameron the coward resigned when the going got tough .

Everybody knew that! It's not new News!

Why is being ambitious a bad thing...Boris is also extremely ambitious for the UK

David Cameron bottled brexit in the most cowardly way. He has no right to even be allowed a comment on what Boris Johnson does.. he inherited Cameron cock up and has no choice but to run with it.. Whether he's right or wrong he's trying. Something David Cameron didn't do.

Cameron never should have promised the referendum in the first place. Whether you’re for ‘in’ or ‘out’ the whole thing seems to be a complete mess up to now ☹️

Old news. The electorate have seen most MPs jostling and scheming to keep or enhance their position

And David Cameron did everything in selfless service to Britain 🤮

Cameron seems to be loaded with information we all knew. What is next? Boris Johnson is an arse? To be honest, I wish they would both just go away.

He’s a rather bitter, failed Prime Minister.

BREAKING: Former Prime Minister of the UK, now fully paid-up EU puppet in full swing

Ok but if leaving is such a bad idea it wouldn't help his career it? You need to think things through really don't you, makes it more obvious that leaving is a good thing

BBC are FAKE NEWS bastards! Brexit FakeNews BorisJohnson

That's working well . . .

epiphany for an idiot-the weird cummings and bannion of the republican neo natzi party told him he was the once and future king-he bought it hook line and sinker. a puppet on a string-boris needs to distance himself from this evil shower and fast.

No you don’t say! BorisJohnsonLies

Still trying to sell a book 😂😂

All Politicians do things to better their careers and bank balances thats all they care about.

And what’s more, Boris still doesn’t realise, with the electorate “the madder Hulk they get, the stronger Hulk they get” in voting him out for good!

So why did Cameron wait three years to say this? Perhaps because other than the negative story put about him putting his John Thomas in a dead pig's mouth Cameron's book is devoid of anything interesting.

Your bias is a joke

BREAKING: Cameron's shock revelation that water is wet!

Of course. He climbed to PM’s chair doing that. Did he /does he know exactly what good brexit is for UK? Not sure he does. All that matters is from a peripheral, insignificant and irrelevant post of mayor of London, now he’s PM of UK. As they say, politics is the best business.

Someone please gag Cameron, he is traitor to the people, cut and ran when he was needed. As for Boris backing 'Leave' to help his career, so what ?

So he knew the answer to David Cameron’s Referendum question before it took place ! It didn’t help DC’s career did it.

Please go away. No one wants your advice

Will Dave tell us something we don’t already know?

Well yeeeeesss of course he did. We all knew that ut Cameron held ref to save his. Both as culpable in this unholy mess. But they’ll be ok. The rest of us won’t

And you got into bed with LibDem to further yours

eh. is it *not* a politician's job to lead the people from behind?

Duh.

David_Cameron is only interested in saying anything to help promote sales of his book and is a hypocrite to talk about another referendum after what he said during the referendum campaign;

Cameron backed remain to help his. That didn't work either did it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💩💩💩💩💩

And cameron is a saint who never did anything to help his own career?

Who me Neverrrrrrrrrr dave

Can't say it didn't work

The bbc needs fixing it's become highly irregular and unprofessional propaganda channel for the EU. It's become a national disgrace lm compulsively charge for and l hardly ever watch it.

Oh Dave ... Dearie me Dave... have you forgotten so soon what you said before you became PM. You've changed Dave - is it because you a selling a book and the BBC are promoting you with TVtax

David Cameron has a book out So let's post David Cameron 24/7

Cameron called a referendum to save his career..... And promptly boned us all

Which is also coincidentally what the majority voted for... LEAVE 🇬🇧

AGAIN BBC - How about reporting on the riots that have been going on in France for the past 44 Weeks in a row? You know, those anti EU/ Macron riots. Any News on that
