As an admirer of David Cameron, I was appalled when he broke his word and resigned on the morning of the Brexit vote two years ago. Not for the first time, I was thrown because I had taken him at his word and believed him when he said that he’d stay no matter what the result. His decision to ban Whitehall from preparing for a ‘no’ result denied crucial preparation time with consequences still being felt today. So I had a certain sympathy with Danny Dyer who had a few things to say about Cameron on ITV’s Good Evening Britain last night.
As I say in my Telegraph column today, the UK government still has no Brexit strategy with just nine months to go. And a crunch summit in Chequers next week is being called, in spite of there being no progress on working out what deal we would want.
