That's all we need, Cameron in Israel.

We’ll never be able to accuse Sunak of being indecisive again after this!

Great news about SB. Now watch the Tory party fall apart some more. Is Sunak really going to offer DC a job?

Our democracy is fucked. That would be fine, if the king actually had any political independence. But he's just a puppet in that regard so might as well just let the PM make Lords whenever they want

Totally agree @AdamRyan

I think it's mad. But very interesting! At a very late stage the moderate Conservatives are being brought back in? Well good but a bit late

That seems to be exactly what happens.

Plus, if as everyone thinks, the COnservatives will lose the next election, Cameron knows it's 9 months / year of work and commitment and no more. There have been Lords/Ladies in the cabinet before, Baroness Warsi springs to mind.

Ah apparently this is so that Sunak can present himself as the PM of change after the conference. Backward change.

Also shows that even Sunak knows that his 'colleagues' are so shit that nobody can do the job...

I'm bloody furious that Cameron now gets a seat in HoL for life, for 9 months (if he lasts that long) as FS.

Lord Cameron? Couldn’t care less, I just want to see the back of them.

To be fair, @Zonder , it's not unusual for a former PM to get a seat in the Lords. Better someone with lots of political experience than some 20 something advisor to Boris, or a hereditary landowner.

I will give it to Sunak, its a decisive way to deal with the "spineless" accusation. He's basically said none of his current MPs are up to the job.

I'm probably going to get crucified but I actually liked DC. Brexit was mad but he always seemed like he wanted to make the UK better so I was OK with him (although not austerity).

However when does it stop being a premiership and start being a dictatorship, if you can just appoint whoever you like into your government? Terrifying.

I know this thread says countdown but meltdown seems apt

Also I wonder if Sunak wants DCs experience of winning elections in the room ahead of a GE in May?

I liked Cameron too, and thought Theresa May did the best she could in a shitty situation. I am a floating voter, have voted for all the main parties in the past (but not SNP, never SNP) and think Cameron's experience is a great move by Sunak.

I’m surprised Cameron isn’t already in HoL, don’t most ex PMs get a peerage

He only won one. With a majority of 12.

You can thank Boris "bloody Cameron got a first and I didn't" Johnson for this strange, resentful omission

Wonder what Starmer is thinking. He must be 🍿

And he won it by promising a referendum to appease/get rid of the swivel eyed loons… who haven’t gone anywhere.

Lord Cameron of Greensil,
got a ring to it

Ah, so that's how she's hoping to rally support from the back benches. I hope they have the sense to tell her to stop being so stupid.

Well yes, exactly.
