David Cameron hasn’t put a foot right since his election victory

A final flounce

TWO months ago David Cameron considered it an “enormous privilege” to ­continue serving the people of Witney as their MP. So much for them, then.

He couldn’t bear sitting on the back benches watching his former Home Secretary tear up his policies — and quit in a huff.

Mr Cameron hasn’t put a foot right since his surprise majority last year.

From the hysterical propaganda of his Remain campaign, and his arrogant conviction that voters would swallow it, to the hasty resignation as PM and yesterday’s equally self-centred departure.

In between, a final two fingers to the British people, disgracefully showering public money and honours on his mates.

Mr Cameron wasn’t a terrible Prime Minister, though. He fixed the economy and created huge numbers of jobs. He instigated big and vital school reforms.

He gave us the Brexit referendum too. But only because he feared Ukip — and reckoned he would win it anyway.

What else did he achieve? Sadly for him, not a lot.

Toxic Corbyn

JEREMY Corbyn is not a harmless clown. He is a malignant presence in public life.

It is easy to make light of his shambolic year as Labour leader and the ineptitude that has reduced his party to a laughing stock, hopelessly adrift in the polls and with 172 MPs in revolt.

Then you read his anniversary “tribute” to the 9/11 victims and realise what truly repugnant beliefs this man holds.

He could not honour the memory of almost 3,000 innocent people without qualifying it with a snide dig at the West.

Some say Corbyn is a pleasant enough individual. So what? At 67 he clings to vile beliefs decades out of date and excusable only in naive teenagers. This does not show principled strength. Just stupidity and an inability to learn.

Corbyn, his wretched Shadow Cabinet of fools and his foul social media ­fanclub are destroying Labour and leading it to cataclysmic election defeat.

Britain needs a functioning and credible opposition. Corbyn’s mob will never be it.

Migrants’ pay

LIMITING EU immigration to those with a cast-iron offer of a well-paid job is the sort of control Britain should aim at.

It makes sense to allow in only those with the skills to benefit our economy.

But these rules being considered by the Home Secretary must be flexible.

Cheap, low-skilled labour currently keeps the service sector and food industry going. The trick, over time, is to wean them off migrants and on to Brits.

That will mean making the work better paid and more attractive than benefits.

But it should dramatically cut numbers coming in, including the 77,000 a year currently arriving from the EU with no job.
