I think Cameron’s trip went down like a bucket of sick

[@jackgrieveson225]

There's a similar reaction when he stays at home.

[@philipclemoes9458]

Trump should have kicked Cameron out and put him on plane 3rd class.

[@roygardiner2229]

I cannot give Cameron respect. He is not elected to office, his manner is described as akin to Lord Snooty, his views do not represent mine.

[@williebobs3830]

Somebody please tell me why Sunak brought Cameron in. Thanks.

[@elkpaz560]

Mates. Same elite club. He's hoping for favours when he's an ex.

The words "David Cameron" and diplomacy" do not go together. Remember when, as PM he went to the EU with his "list of demands" before the Brexit vote, came back with Zip Jack Diddley and tried to make it look like a win? And then he was all butt hurt, and took his ball home, when 52％ of voters saw right through it and Remain lost. The only reason he managed to hang on to Scotland is because Alistair Darling did most of the talking, and legwork. And then he goes blabbing off, about the late Queen's reaction to the Scottish referendum and had to make a grovelling apology. The man is absolutely hopeless.

Frick all Cameron does goes to plan, remember he thought he could win Brexit.😂

@@Joekd6.1 I’m from NI. I can’t vote in your elections. We are controlled by Westminster but can’t vote in your elections. Labour will be equally as bad as the Tories. You’ll soon see it’s just a different cheek of the same arse. To be honest with the choice you have I am stumped on who I would vote for but I would definitely try and break the two party system over there. It’s not doing anyone any favours.

There's only one Lord and it isn't rosey-cheeks, ex-Bullingdon club member and lifelong toff, Davey Cameron. He should stick to what he does best - text messaging.

Indeed, oiks who make mean-minded comments like this are taking ove the world.

[@hanginginthere09]

LOL! Which the genius Cameron thought meant lots of love.

[@heavytreaty]

As a Brit in the US for 13 years, I can say with certainty the UK overestimates her importance on the global stage. It’s not Cameron’s fault, either in his fruitless negotiations with the EU or now in the USA, it is a nation in decline, a nation that is increasingly unimportant. I say that with sadness.

[@dylanbuffenbarger8557]

American living in Britain here. Britain needs to find a way to mount a resurgence and stop being so dour and nihilistic. The British Empire’s collapse was the greatest geopolitical disaster in the world since World War II.

[@heavytreaty]

@@dylanbuffenbarger8557 the BBC does not help with that perspective.

[@GreenMorningDragonProductions]

@@dylanbuffenbarger8557 The British Empire didn't collapse. It was a comparatively orderly dismantling, when you look at the fiasco of how say, the French Empire disintegrated. However it could've been even more successful had Britain been given more time, particularly by the US to ensure orderly, constitutional mechanisms were in place, in order for many ex-colonies to NOT become the dictatorial, political and economic basket cases that they turned into, once Britain left. The Commonwealth has helped with the transition to nationhood for many countries, but even that's being decried as an irrelevant imperialist institution now. Sheesh!!

[@jamesmiddleton1278]

Wow. Wheeling out man of the people Dave Cameron to represent us abroad. It’s hard to reject all the talk about out of touch elites, isn’t it?

Trump is about America...He's a negotiator and businessman... Freddie should let us know about Trump's lies..Stop with the talking points and talk about Trump's success while President..He's not a warmonger and wants peace.

[@robbuxton8438]

Trump and honesty don’t belong in the same sentence, from my observation

Somehow Blinken and Cameron share some similarities.

[@pauldavis3460]

Tories taking the piss out of tories. What jolly fun. Does anyone give a toss about the Ukrainians? Anything reported about movement in the astonishing position taken by the house gop?

[@hewyn1]

So, as you both mentioned Cameron’s “closeness” to the Chinese you both smirked conspiratorially. Obviously you both know what this closeness is and what it means. Would you care to share or is it just some gossip for the junior common room? Let me guess…
