Cameron Quits - Again.
The crushing of David Cameron: His legacy in ruins and shattered by the loss of power the former PM quits politics 16 months after his historic election victory
David Cameron's spectacular fall was complete last night when he quit as an MP rather than clash with Theresa May over grammar schools.
Announcing his resignation, he repeatedly refused to say that he agreed with her plan to open new grammar schools, saying only the proposal had ‘some merit’. ‘I have my own views about certain issues,’ he said.
It represented a final U-turn by a man who was in charge in Downing Street little more than two months ago. Before slumping to defeat in the EU referendum – during which he said ‘Brits don’t quit’ – he had promised his constituents he would stay on until at least 2020
The decision paves the way for Mr Cameron to make millions of pounds. His memoirs are likely to command a seven-figure-sum and there will be lucrative opportunities on the speaking circuit.
He is also likely to seek a job running a major international organisation in charge of overseas aid or countering extremism.
Mr Cameron informed Mrs May – with whom he had a fractious relationship in power – yesterday morning.

So righty rants are OK, but extracts from the Daily Mail aren't?

Ye, its obviously the consensus of the Forum that Corbyn is not fit to lead Labour and the official opposition. 25 pages tells us that.
On another note, you were asked on those pages to tell us why Corbyn is the best leader for Labour. Any update?New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

I thought that you thought that Corbyn was a Lefty and not capable of doing anything Right?
Right?

That is clearly Off Topic, but since you ask:
I told you that only YOU can work that out You really have a fixation with Corbyn, don't you?
You're obviously scared rigid that now Cameron has gone - at last - his future multi-£m career will show that like far too many Two Nations Thatcherites his reason for going into politics was trough oriented.
Perhaps Mrs May will pull the party back to a sensible Tory, One Nation, position. Certainly her 1st speech was full of hope for more equality and positive social change.
And with Cameron gone from the back benches she won't have that shadow across her sunny view of the future for ALL UK citizens.

I think you'll find that approx the first 10 pages were a debate as matters evolved re the challenge to Corbyn; the latter 15 were primarily the AAA soap box, the last few primarily involved with you trying to avoid a perfectly reasonable question
