I don’t agree with Brexit and I pledge no allegiance to any party. But it’s no job I’d want. You can never ever be given any kind of approval or positive acknowledgment. What was Cameron to do , call a referendum when there were calls for it. Give the people a democratic choice or refuse. I’m certain he’d have been smashed to bits of he didn’t back then. At least he actually gave choice to the public. Some of the things going on these days are controversial and we have no say at all it seems. Given, Brexit was fuelled with lies - that’s another point. But it’s easy to point and blame. Impossible for them to ever get anything right. It seems to me the data they receive and the means in which it’s gathered needs modernising. They are all completely out of touch in every possible way.
James Not-So-Cleverly as Home Secretary and David "Pig-Head" Cameron as Foreign Secretary? What next? This clown show is not getting any better is it? Nadine Dorries as head of MENSA maybe?
Isn't the double sighting of the hideous beast known as "Widdecombe," one of the 7 portents of the rise of Cthulu beginning 1000 years of torture and agony for humankind?
Cameron actually claimed expenses for repairs on his domestic washing machine Basic washer for a family £300 And he had the cheek to stand on stage pontificated about "entitlement "culture .!
The Greensill inquiry, just as the covid inquiry, completely pointless. They come on , tell you exactly what they did without any regret whatsoever, then leave and nomore is said about. All to 'appease' the public.
Being from Eastern Europe, when Brexit occurred, the only adjustment I had to make was applying for a British passport. It's astonishing to witness how a once highly regarded nation has begun to disassemble itself.
@@Experts_Say well they can do one better, and just join anyway, it's quite clear 13 million people voted like turkeys, it's best to leave the big boy jobs to the educated portion of the population.

David Cameron, an ex-Prime Minister has lowered himself to the needless position of Home Secretary. No voter ever appointed this has-been. Now the Tories are scarping the bottom of the barrel to get someone who deserted his position in the nation's hour of need.
@@daughterofenoch677 that's not strictly true. He'll be a peer in the HOL for life (or until it's reformed / abolished at least) as a result of this, which from his point of view is probably not bad in exchange for serving a handful of months in a government in its death throes...
So yes, he's been made an offer we will not hear about for 20 years. We know he's second generation grifter, tax avoider, weapons selling, foreign offshore warehousing of dodgy money kind of guy. Who really hates the UK general population. We are being dragged into conflict, that's for sure.
@@endintiers Its not just Cameron's position on Brexit but also his position on Palestine that differs from the current Tory policy. Years ago he declared Gaza an open air prison. These are two positions that are popular with the British public. If Sunak also allows the likes of Rory Stewart or Jo Johnson back in then Labour should watch out for that would really indicate a major shift and Keir Starmer is not very popular.
Braverman has a future in football. I hear that the Millwall Right Winger got injured up at Sheffield and they need a sub to play out wide on the right.
Is this the Last Priminister the country actually chose ? Think so. Democracy been missing a while. Democracy Dave should bring it back. Let's have a referendum to put MP's on minimum wage. 👍
I do rather like the way he's managed to bury Cruella's sacking beneath the bigger story of bringing back Carmoron. I think it's more luck than judgement. 😐
100% James. Dave was appointed as vice-chair of the £1bn China-UK investment fund and made $10M from Greensill Capital. Do we want this man to run our country? Not in a million years.
David Cameron who bailed out after the nation voted for Brexit 😊 Resign the unaccountable Sunak & take Khan with you . Politics in this country is very murky .
Unelected PM appoints an unelected Foreign Secretary. That's desperation, sorry democracy, for you. I'll be very surprised if David Brexit Austerity Greensill Cameron lasts 6 months. Sunak is a second rate businessman with far more money than ability, and he's a third rate politician. People are running rings around him behind the scenes, and those people are more than useless. He came second to Liz Truss. Says it all.
0:17 I doubt James ever reads these comments but here goes, I grew up in a single parent home ( my mom was widowed) and she was extraordinary supplementing my public school education. I say this because I am rarely envious of an individual but when I listen to James talk about the quality of his education and the impact it had on him, I admit I turn very green and get a bit angry. Not with James, rather that I think 'what I might have been able to add to society if my imagination could have been focused and nurtured in such an environment'. Anyway, James it is a pleasure to listen and watch such a well educated and bright Journalist who THINKS. You challenge me with your knowledge of history and your linguistic acumen is a marvel. Thanks for you and your team's hard work. Cheers. End Manufactured Suffering, now! David Cody Peppers.
Personally i wouldn't worry about it too much. Private schools have better sports facilities and are able to give their students a slightly unfair leg-up in some respects, but you have to offset these advantages against a general atmosphere of snobbery, moral decay and institutionalisation of the pupils. A quick glance at certain past and present tory front benchers ought to be proof enough that private education is more about perpetution of privilege then nurturing the imagination of young minds in order to enrich society...

@davidpeppers1763 Fair comment. I guess I don't want to solely be informed by people I agree with, thereby reinforcing any bias and creating an echo chamber. Thanks for the reply, same to you.
I think its actually surprisingly clever by Sunak to wait with sacking Braverman. The debacle on saturday that made very clear who the actual violent mob was , now happened while she was still in place, making that fully her responsability. As the old saying goes: Never interrupt an enemy in the proces of destroying itself.
sooo bribable Cameron it is. Is the final run on the clearance sale of the UK now officially in full swing? Grab everything you can bc we are handing over the keys to the state very soon, everything must go and anything goes, HURRY UP
This is the problem with government and has been for as long as I’ve taken a slight interest in politics. Jobs are rewarded on loyalty and not on merit. That’s partly why this country is in the mess it is in.
Ann Waddlecombe: the only person in the UK who can tell two stories at the same time; once with her twisted mouth and the other in morse code with her eyes. Which one is true?
The audacity to bring in the man who ran away as soon as we voted to leave the EU and to add the cherry on the top, he’s not even an elected MP anymore. I didn’t even realise that was allowed until today. Where do I sign up? We all might as well join in and get a fat pay check 😂
James O’Brien the best & smartest British commentator by far, his logical headlock on uneducated & gaslit Tory voters is a sight to behold. Please keep up the great work, vote all Tories out.
I do disagree with the loyalty argument. I cant rule out Cameron wanting to be viewed as a returning hero and becoming PM again. I dont believe anyone in the tory cabinet is there for any other reason than personal accolades and glory.
It's poetic in a way, 13 years of Tory rule began with David Cameron and with just over a year before the next election (making this probably the last major cabinet reshuffle), it will end with David Cameron. It says something that even the right wing/pro-Tory press is calling this an act of desperation, and a bad idea.
I don’t know. News of sacking will blow over, but Suella will still remain causing trouble. Also - the impact of Britain’s presence on the world stage as a result of Cameron’s appointment will be far more significant in the long run. Either Sunak didn’t recognise this or doesn’t care. Either way, not bigbrainmoment
You are over estimating the intelligence of the general public who are swayed without difficulty to whatever the media wants. Watch how Cameron’s popularity soars
Who remembers when the country voted for the Lib Dems to be in power, and Nick Clegg to be PM, but then Cameron and the Tories weaseled their way in with a "coalition" instead of a second vote, and then took over anyway? Hands up if you remember that🤚 it was roughly about 13 years ago.
Well, this is not an alien concept for most of Europe. We are an oddity for having a system that favours majority governments. At least the Lib Dems could inhibit some of Tory policy.
When did "the country" vote for the Lib Dems to be in power? Of the people that bothered to vote in 2010, 32.4% voted Conservative, 35.2% voted Labour and 22.0% voted Lib Dem. However, the way you describe the situation anyone would think the Lib Dems had the largest percentage.
Not actually true, they were the third wheel, effectively kingmakers, who refused to negotiate with Labour who had the most MPs, and chose to get into bed with Cameron and the Tories, the reward from the voters in 2015 was political oblivion.
Wes Streeting summed it up quite well in an article I read today where he said that since coming into power in 2010, the Conservatives have pretty much exhausted all the viable names at the bottom of the barrel, so they’re basically starting all over again.
Excellent James. Regards the numbers. The 300,000 was at the start. There were 800,000 by the end. There is also a claim that Suella is being subjected to Misoginy.
The country has to live with the consequences of his disastrous Brexit vote. He should never have allowed an ignorant population to have a vote on something so damaging to our future.
Bumbling Boris, Troublesome Truss, Slinky Sunak, Cruella Braverman & now Calamitous Cameron you just cant make this stuff up. A comedy of errors that has resulted in a poorer & less empathetic country (Unless you are a CEO or banker).

as a foreigner this is just hilarious, proposing Cameron as a minister for a cabinet that won its mandate with the slogan "get Brexit done"? It is insane, and all to hang on to power for a few more months.

Originally propped up by Sir Nick Clegg and The Liberal Democrats. Who a party member was none other than....Sir Ed Davey.
@@tobyalan8874 The Liberal Democrats have a lot to answer for. They walked away from a coalition with Labour in 2010, paving the way for various disastrous outcomes in the last thirteen years. They are holier than thou and sanctimonious, liberal on social issues ( rightly, in my view) but just as happy as the Tories to bash the poor with cruel and economically illiterate austerity which inhibited the (anemic) recovery. The Orange Book Liberals had no problem with austerity.
If this is stability, I wish we'd had that "chaos with Ed Milliband"!
The fact that Anne Widdecombe still gets air time at all is just astonishing in its own right
It strikes me that if Sunak couldn't find a single Tory MP to be Home Secretary, they've got bigger problems than we already knew they did.
Brace yourselves for the announcement that Sunak is going to appoint Boris Johnson as chancellor of the exchequer. LOL
Boris will be appointed as a party planner.
Fantastic! Someone who brought in the brexit and quit not willing to implement it will look into home affairs now. Wow!
Foreign affairs. Which makes it worse 😂. James cleverly is the home secretary... A man already found to have been in breach of the ministerial code regarding Israeli arms deals in 2021.
Actually he fought against Brexit so quitting was the right thing to do. Much better to have someone who truly believes in Brexit to implement it rather than someone who is half-hearted.
Perhaps his return reflects a shift in the Tory party on Brexit. Will Rory Stewart also be returning?
If he didnt believe in it and wasnt prepared to go through with it ahould not have brought about a vote to appease the hardliners in his party.

It'd be funny if it were not so pitifully inept... the best replacement to Braveman is the person who sold brexit without explaining or understanding the consequences. That's the best they can come up with.
Actually, Cameron is Foreign Secretary. James Cleverly has taken Braverman's job.
He didn't sell brexit per say. He made a terrible mistake calling the referendum to begin with, but he created part of the environment where racism and xenophobia spread like wildfire amongst people who were being hurt by his austerity policies. So he is 100% responsible for brexit occurring, alongside the grifters who promoted it.
@@ecaeas4439he didn't want brexit ...others had "promised" a referendum Blair included but never ment it ...Cameron was cornered by Nigel threatening the jobs of Tory MPs ...and the EU humiliating him when he went to get some help from em !

Yup, James cleverly, an easily detestable man... found in 2021 to be in breach of the ministerial code regarding Israeli arms deals. He's been hired to replace suella, who was sacked after undermining the police regarding a protest against Israeli weapons being used on civilians 😅😅 Someone please wake from this cheese dream
I don’t agree with Brexit and I pledge no allegiance to any party.
But it’s no job I’d want. You can never ever be given any kind of approval or positive acknowledgment. What was Cameron to do , call a referendum when there were calls for it. Give the people a democratic choice or refuse. I’m certain he’d have been smashed to bits of he didn’t back then.
At least he actually gave choice to the public. Some of the things going on these days are controversial and we have no say at all it seems. Given, Brexit was fuelled with lies - that’s another point. But it’s easy to point and blame. Impossible for them to ever get anything right.
It seems to me the data they receive and the means in which it’s gathered needs modernising. They are all completely out of touch in every possible way.
The 'Do Not Break Glass' gag was priceless 😅
James Not-So-Cleverly as Home Secretary and David "Pig-Head" Cameron as Foreign Secretary? What next? This clown show is not getting any better is it? Nadine Dorries as head of MENSA maybe?

So, does that indicate a slow change of direction with regard to Brexit by the Tories?
Should we update our thinking? Call him a RETURNER?
Yeah, a representative of the returner majority... They could run an election on that?
@@endintiers Its not just Cameron's position on Brexit but also his position on Palestine that differs from the current Tory policy. Years ago he declared Gaza an open air prison. These are two positions that are popular with the British public. If Sunak also allows the likes of Rory Stewart or Jo Johnson back in then Labour should watch out for that would really indicate a major shift and Keir Starmer is not very popular.

I doubt James ever reads these comments but here goes,
I grew up in a single parent home ( my mom was widowed) and she was extraordinary supplementing my public school education.
I say this because I am rarely envious of an individual but when I listen to James talk about the quality of his education and the impact it had on him, I admit I turn very green and get a bit angry.
Not with James, rather that I think 'what I might have been able to add to society if my imagination could have been focused and nurtured in such an environment'.
Anyway, James it is a pleasure to listen and watch such a well educated and bright Journalist who THINKS. You challenge me with your knowledge of history and your linguistic acumen is a marvel.
Thanks for you and your team's hard work.
Cheers.

Personally i wouldn't worry about it too much. Private schools have better sports facilities and are able to give their students a slightly unfair leg-up in some respects, but you have to offset these advantages against a general atmosphere of snobbery, moral decay and institutionalisation of the pupils.
A quick glance at certain past and present tory front benchers ought to be proof enough that private education is more about perpetution of privilege then nurturing the imagination of young minds in order to enrich society...
I listened to O'brien for years every morning while at work; I finally got sick of his slippery, chameleonic, always has to be right attitude last year and switched back to 5live.

I think its actually surprisingly clever by Sunak to wait with sacking Braverman. The debacle on saturday that made very clear who the actual violent mob was , now happened while she was still in place, making that fully her responsability. As the old saying goes: Never interrupt an enemy in the proces of destroying itself.
Ninja moves for sure. Well spotted!
They will be digging maggie back up soon as they are so desperate
Wait and see the new right focus around Braverman, Widdicombe, Farage and Tommy Two-Names…
You know you're having a bad day when you see Widdecombe twice in 24 hours.
They're scraping the bottom of the dung heap for personnel.
Bit unfair, Anne isn't that bad.

This actually made me laugh talking about Ann Widdecombe 😂😂
*Well sacking Suella is the Right thing but Replacing James as Home Secretary is going to be a NIGHTMARE*
This is the problem with government and has been for as long as I’ve taken a slight interest in politics. Jobs are rewarded on loyalty and not on merit. That’s partly why this country is in the mess it is in.

We are fantastic news well done Dave, a man with honesty and integrity. Enjoy.
I’m not on the left or the right and I still think Cameron coming bk and is a joke …
I do disagree with the loyalty argument. I cant rule out Cameron wanting to be viewed as a returning hero and becoming PM again. I dont believe anyone in the tory cabinet is there for any other reason than personal accolades and glory.
It's a burner phone with A.W.'s number embedded!
It's poetic in a way, 13 years of Tory rule began with David Cameron and with just over a year before the next election (making this probably the last major cabinet reshuffle), it will end with David Cameron. It says something that even the right wing/pro-Tory press is calling this an act of desperation, and a bad idea.
So IF the Tories are voted in again, Cameron will take the credit, if the Tories fall, it’ll be Sunak’s fault!!!!
Then Cameran can reveal his new leadership bid!
Don't know if he can be leader again..by law?
Well…according with Mike Graham on his show last night…only 11% of the population approve of Cameron’s return. Imagine, that many! 🙈
Sunak did this because the News is not of Suella being sacked but of david cameron it's the cleverest thing Sunak has done which isn't saying much
I don’t know. News of sacking will blow over, but Suella will still remain causing trouble. Also - the impact of Britain’s presence on the world stage as a result of Cameron’s appointment will be far more significant in the long run. Either Sunak didn’t recognise this or doesn’t care. Either way, not bigbrainmoment
You are over estimating the intelligence of the general public who are swayed without difficulty to whatever the media wants. Watch how Cameron’s popularity soars
Hit it on the head James. The return of the Chipping Norton set. Murdoch media backing at the next election.
What comes after you scrap the bottom of the barrel .... the barrel !!
Who remembers when the country voted for the Lib Dems to be in power, and Nick Clegg to be PM, but then Cameron and the Tories weaseled their way in with a "coalition" instead of a second vote, and then took over anyway? Hands up if you remember that🤚 it was roughly about 13 years ago.
Well, this is not an alien concept for most of Europe. We are an oddity for having a system that favours majority governments. At least the Lib Dems could inhibit some of Tory policy.
Vote Lib Dem, Green or SNP.
When did "the country" vote for the Lib Dems to be in power?
Of the people that bothered to vote in 2010, 32.4% voted Conservative, 35.2% voted Labour and 22.0% voted Lib Dem. However, the way you describe the situation anyone would think the Lib Dems had the largest percentage.
Not actually true, they were the third wheel, effectively kingmakers, who refused to negotiate with Labour who had the most MPs, and chose to get into bed with Cameron and the Tories, the reward from the voters in 2015 was political oblivion.
