Obviously he has had a better offer. Perhaps he is making a bid to be President of Argentina where I have been informed he can cream some off the top, if you know what I mean.

On TV today, a woman panelist said that she had seen him doing the school run the past couple of weeks and said she had never seen him look happier.

He can follow Tony Blair on the lecture scene and make a small fortune with no responsibilities. I am always amazed as to why people want to be PM. All they get are personal insults from all and sundry. Whatever they do or suggest brings howls from the press or groups who disagree. No matter what a PM does is going to upset a large percentage of the population....including me !

Well, bye bye David
Hello may,
will any of you do what the people say,
one did not and away he flies
and the other, will just have to try.

And time moves on, he will no doubt join the rest or the old guard
so they say..

@3 He had no intention of running for election again even if he had finished his second term; he said so. I can imagine he will do very well away from politics and be paid a lot more.

If he has any regrets it is allowing the Brexit vote but he will get over that soon enough. People that have lost a child often have good perspective on what is really important in life.
