i thought david cameron did the right thing. and although he carried out really important reforms he had lost a lot of support. i think david did the right thing of moving him on and brought him straight out into government after the election. it broke a bond between them and although i think michael gove would have supported leave anyway, i think he may have found thatjourney easier having felt that david cameron had made the first move in terms of breaking the bond between them. david cameron also admits he was depressed and he was asked if he was depressed and he was asked if he was clinically depressed he said he was clinically depressed he said he was not on medication. how big it all has it taken on him and does he feel the anger that many people blame him dividing the country?|j think blame him dividing the country?” think he is depressed because anyone who cares about the future of his country as i do as well are depressed to see the state we have got into. but i don't think he feels he did anything wrong and i don't thin

i think what he was saying, what david cameron was saying was, think what he was saying, what david cameron cameron was saying was, we may have no option to go to a second referendum —— but to go for a second referendum. the telegraph points that he was asked twice about whether he trusts borisjohnson and refused to answer he has come out very strongly —— refused to answer. he has come strongly. he says no deal is a terrible idea. let me ask you honestly, on the basis of all of this, is it's a book which is presumably hundreds of pages long you would like to buy and read was blue i suppose we should. —— by and read? i suppose we should. i don't know who, anybody who will buy this book. i knew a lot of people who wa nted book. i knew a lot of people who wanted to read the blair book. there's a lot of interesting thing about iraq, etc, what i don't know anybody desperate to read... but people have passionate feeling about brexit? i think we are fed up with brexit, quite honestly! we weren't fed up with the war in iraq, you weren't fed up of it. we are fed up of brexit. all of us are fed up of

sir craig oliver worked with david cameron in downing street.ly the case that david cameron feels a real burden, a real sense of having made mistakes in the referendum campaign, having got quite a few things wrong, and he says that he failed. what he doesn't think, though, is that he shouldn't have done it. and the reason for that is, i think he thought it was almost inevitable. ukip were on the rise, doing extremely well. we were also in a situation where a huge number of conservative mps were rebelling all the time. the political pond, as you mayjust have noticed, is choppy enough as it is at the moment, and these memoirs represent another brick lopped in for good measure. but as extraordinary as our politics are at the moment, it's still quite something when a former resident here accuses the current one — from the same party — of having a rather casual attitude towards the truth. "leaving the truth at home" is the accusation mr cameron makes of how some of this government's most seniorfigures behaved as part of the leave campaign. did you le

david cameron writes...on i am left with is that he risked an outcome he didn't believe in because it would help his political career." you could not accuse us of being anti—european! nor little englanders. nor little englanders! but mr cameron is accusing him of a loose affiliation with the truth and questionable motives for endorsing leave. nonsense, say his supporters. remain would have been the easier career choice, so borisjohnson led the campaign, he did so because he believes in brexit and he is committed to delivering it. from silly hats to high office, some of the biggest names in the leave campaign just so happen to be among the biggest names in the government now. and mr cameron's book is a production line of put—downs. on michael gove he says... this morning, michael gove was keen to keep up with the news. he's accused you of being a faragist, of becoming a populist. how do you feel about that? but rather less keen to tell us what he made of it. the now—home secretary had no such qualms, though.

after years of carefully keeping himself out of the headlines, former prime minister david cameron isg news in town, and that may not be welcome news for boris johnson. he and his cabinet colleague michael gove are accused by mr cameron, in his new book, of behaving "appallingly" during the 2016 referendum. he actually, in the book — i said to him "you call michael gove, who was a close personalfriend, ‘mendacious”', and as for borisjohnson, and he says he has always found him amusing, he has worked well with him in the past, but he doesn't always trust him. david cameron also admits that he failed, and that some people will neverforgive him for holding a referendum. he says he thinks about it every single day, but believes that calling it was right and he felt it was inevitable. he's also clearly apologetic. but claims made by mr cameron in his interview with the times magazine that the referendum campaign turned into a terrible tory psychodrama have been disputed by a prominent leave campaigner. as far as millions of people — 33 million people voted — 17.4 million of them voted beca

david cameron cannot be forgiven. jo, thank you.'s take some questions from the floor. there are some rolling microphones, please raise your hand if you would like to ask a question. anyone want to ask something about brexit? a gentleman at the front, let's take two to start. in the middle of the first block of the microphone is available. the gentleman with his hand up in front of me there. i will come after that... hand up in front of me there. i will come after that. .. we will see who comes afterwards, ask your question first. revoking article 50, making that a liberal democrat policy in the next general election, there was some concern about how that may affect the people who did vote to leave, what specific policy actions do the liberal democrats have or will they develop to try and build those bridges. i will they develop to try and build those bridges. lam will they develop to try and build those bridges. i am gary burke, from medway. and another question on brexit? right at the back. thank you. what is your name and local p

david cameron is disappointed with borisjohnson but david cameron is disappointed with boris johnsonother brexiteers, he is not pulling any punches. on michael gove, he writes this. michael gove, the liberal minded, carefully considered conservative intellectual, had become a foam—flecked faragist warning that the entire turkish population was about to come to britain. but today michael gove was keeping his feelings to himself. he has accused you of being a faragist, a populist, how do you feel about that? others, too, are in the firing line. david cameron says he was most shocked by claims from the then employment minister now home secretary priti patel. i was secretary priti patel. iwasa secretary priti patel. i was a mistake in david cameron's government, it was a privilege, and i enjoyed working with him. obviously, the referendum has happened, we have all moved on and the fact is we are now working to deliver that referendum mandate. there is no point going over the past. more than three years after he resigned, david cameron has broken his silence at a crucial time for both bre

it was a referendum david cameron won.nd rejected independence but the former prime minister wasn't always confident it would be victory he was staring in the face, and he's now revealed that when the no campaign started trailing in the polls he turned to the queen for help. i remember conversations i had with my private secretary and i had with my private secretary and he had with the queen's private secretary, not asking for anything that would be in any way improper or unconstitutional, butjust a raising of the eyebrow, even a quarter of an inch, would make a difference. shortly afterwards, the queen told well—wishers in aberdeenshire she hoped people would think very carefully about the future, a comment widely reported and taken to show concern for the union. at the scottish parliament this morning, the first minister addressed the admission. i think the revelations, if i can call them that, from david cameron today say more about him than they do anybody else. and really demonstrate, i think, the panic that was in th

it is interesting david cameron has kept his powder dry.ist seven weeks before relief on the 31st of october, publishing his memoirs, no doubt with more to come out with the efforts he had with the current prime minister and michael gove. how much sleep will they lose over what he has written about them? i don't think it will lose too much. the prime ministers giving bombarded from all sides about his brexit policy, and i don't think a former minister sort of publishing his memoirs and saying these things are going to worry them too much. he's got more on his plate than a memoir being published. on another subject, we have now seen sam gyimah, former universities minister, defected to the liberal democrats having lost the conservative whip. how much of that isa conservative whip. how much of that is a loss, in terms of him leaving, but also another defection from the conservatives? he was a fairly talented individual and a pleasure to work with. the liberal democrats, a success. to work with. the liberal democrats, a success. they are up an

the former prime minister david cameron says a second referendum on brexit cannot be ruled out. in an interview with the times mr cameron breaks his silence about his controversial decision to call the eu referendum three years ago. "i think about this every day. every single day i think about it, the referendum and the fact that we lost and the consequences and the things that could have been done differently..." on the possibility of a second referendum he says: "i'm just saying that you can't rule things out right now because you've got to find some way of unblocking the blockage. i think there are certain things you shouldn't do to unblock the blockage." in his book david cameron says boris johnson and michael gove behaved ‘appallingly‘ and on his relationship with them now he says "i've spoken to the prime minister a little bit, mainly through texts, but michael was a very good friend." joining me now is sir anthony seldon david cameron's biographer and author of ‘cameron at io'. how will history remember him? when thinking about his decisions about the referendum was ? the

really have anything to say but what the queen did, but she did have a few words on criticism for david cameron'sue. michael blackley, political editor of the scottish daily mail, think you very much forjoining us. and you can see more on bbc one tonight — at 9pm — the cameron years. and we'll find out how this story is covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40pm and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are broadcaster henry bonsu and olivia utley, deputy editor of the article. borisjohnson has been accused of being dishonest about his reasons for suspending parliament. and the accusation comes from none other than the former conservative prime minister sirjohn major. his lawyer has told the supreme court that the only reason mrjohnson wanted a longer than usual suspension was to stop mps "interfering" in his brexit plans. the government argues it is not a matter for the courts at all. our home editor mark easton reports. sirjohn major, borisjohnson — two conservative party leaders, two prime ministers. but today, the battle over brexit saw them turn blue on blue — am

erroneously, interviewer david cameron.terview with the times, repeated by the mail and others, but that relationship is nothing like as strong as it was. yeah, and his regret also is the campaign and the fact that they could not get across the positive case for the eu, and they felt that the leave sides... well, they argued they had a good technical case, a good political case. and johnson and gove had a highly emotional case with regards to immigration, is what he is implying. and that was the case but won. that's to brexit now, three years on, where are we now, who knows where we are. the financial times think they have got an idea of where we are, they thinkjohnson might be getting a deal together. this is really fascinating because up until 110w really fascinating because up until now it seems as if borisjohnson was very happy to plough on towards ideal, they did not appear to be any strategy except for crashing out on halloween. now apparentlyjohnson has a ten day process, so he thinks he can thrash out a deal with th

i suppose the point that david cameron was making was that david cameron was making was that it was ae were a few over premises thrown around in what consisted of the debate. 0ne premises thrown around in what consisted of the debate. one was that there was going to be huge job losses. the economic growth that was coming was going to seize up. are you saying it is going to cancel each other out? they said if we voted leave we would have to have an emergency budget. voted leave we would have to have an emergency budgetlj voted leave we would have to have an emergency budget. i don't want to spend too long on 2016. that had been discussed on this programme quite a few time. just one of a point on cameron, agnes, will you deal with the question that a former prime minister suggests that the current prime minister left the truth at home. they have been questions over boris johnson's character in the scottish court of session as we have just said, they ruled the prorogation of parliament unlawful on the grounds that the message was knocked the accurate message was knocked the accurate mess

the former prime minister david cameron has accused borisjohnson of only backing brexit to further hiseer, in the latest released extracts from his memoirs. mr cameron also criticises michael gove, who he brands as "disloyal". he says that during the referendum campaign, both mrjohnson and mr gove became "ambassadors for the expert—trashing, truth—twisting age of populism". our political correspondent peter saull is with me now... this is pretty strong. there was mild criticism yesterday but he really goes for the jugular today. david cameron has been pretty much silent since resigning rather acrimoniously the morning after the eu referendum, and this book which i dare say will be on a lot of politics watchers' christmas lists and a couple of months' time were getting the first extracts from it now in the sunday times. some of the key q u otes. now in the sunday times. some of the key quotes. he talks about trying to persuade borisjohnson to back remain during the eu referendum but he says he came to the conclusion that boris johnson he says he came to the conclusion that borisjohnson

today at six — the palace hits back after david cameron's revelations about the queen and the scottisheferendum. mr cameron tells the bbc he called the palace in 2014 and asked for the queen's help. not asking for anything that would be in any way improper or unconstitutional. butjust a raising of the eyebrow. in a highly unusual move buckingham palace has made its displeasure all too clear. also tonight — major versusjohnson, tory versus tory in the supreme court — the former prime minister says suspending parliament was illegal. part two of our investigation into the plight of vulnerable teenagers in unregulated homes — concerns they're exposed to weapons, drugs and sexual abuse. letting groomers, predatory paedophiles go after those children and that's our responsibility. japan catches rugby fever — the world cup goes there for the first time — and tickets are almost sold out already. you're sitting here in this studio now talking on the radio... he interviewed without fear orfavour — the bbc‘sjohn humphrys calls it a day after 32 years on the today programme. and coming up on bbc n

the former prime minister, david cameron, says a second referendum on brexit cannot be ruled out. an interview with the times, mr cameron breaks his silence about his controversial decision to call the eu referendum three years ago. he says: 0n the possibility of a second referendum, he says: in his book david cameron says boris johnson and michael gove behaved "appallingly" and on his relationship with them now he says: earlier, i spoke to a political correspondent, helen cut, who has been looking at that interview with david cameron, and the fact he now realises that some will never forgive him for calling the referendum. here you get an interview that is quite sort of introspective. he says he thinks about the referendum every single day. the fact that we lost, the consequences, the things that could have been done differently, and that he worries desperately about what is going to happen next. despite that, it is also interesting he says he recognises that some people will never forgive recognises that some people will neverforgive him for recognises that some people will neve

after he had said libya will be well gadhafi was a terrible terrible man but where i disagree with david cameron is this these matters should be ones for united nations you know we are not the world's policeman no no there's america no this russia not any other country but why do you think cameron hasn't realized what you've just said to me now in the luxury of his. well i think there's to live residual feeling that britain has got some sort of responsibility to the world we've not lost the mindset that we're one of the great powers we don't one of the great powers international law is something we must hold on to something that trump is pretty destroying of course the united states but we in europe hold on to it because trump trumps people didn't deny that here at the embassy but how could you deny it well i mean the bedrock of every poll out of these are different. everything inside there destroying everything internationally the camera apologize over the bricks that referendum and so on here didn't apologize for libya in these moments no i think he's probably believing you're probably saying

after years of carefully keeping himself out of the headlines, former prime minister david cameron isnce again the big news in town, and that may not be welcome news for boris johnson. he and his cabinet colleague michael gove are accused by mr cameron, in his new book, of behaving "appallingly" during the 2016 referendum. he actually, in the book — i said to him "you call michael gove, who was a close personalfriend, ‘mendacious”', and as for borisjohnson, and he says he has always found him amusing, he has worked well with him in the past, but he doesn't always trust him. david cameron also admits that he failed, and that some people will neverforgive him for holding a referendum. he says he thinks about it every single day, but believes that calling it was right and he felt it was inevitable. he's also clearly apologetic. he's clearly been very traumatised by the whole experience and that comes out in it, so it's very far from a strongly self—defending, self—authenticating book. it's a really pretty honest book in which he admits to many mistakes, but not the mistake of calling the

let's begin with david cameron's memoirs, due to be published later this week. have been running excerpts. "cameron's theory at the liars of leave". some of this we already knew... we did. but seeing it written in this form. it is always interesting to hear it from the horse's mouth. if you are looking for a great revelation, there isn't one here. most of it came out of the times anyway, when he gave an interview to the times this morning. there are some quite fun bits. i think the one you have just quoted, borisjohnson never believed in brexit, he thought their side would lose, he did it purely for his political career, the reason being it would make him the darling of the tory party, which he could use as a launching pad to try to become prime minister. michael gove, david cameron says his greatest quality as disloyalty, to david cameron and then to borisjohnson. but again, none of this is actually new. we knew all of this. so david cameron is having a go at people who he feels helped to bring him down, but it doesn't really seem like he has launched a killer

david cameron breaks his silence on brexit. the former prime minister says a second referendum cannot be ruled out. meanwhile, borisjohnson has said he is cautiously optimistic about getting a deal on brexit, but about getting a deal on brexit, but a heckler in yorkshire tells him to get back to parliament. why are you not with the men parliament, sorting out the mess you have created? i'm very happy to get back to parliament very happy to get back to parliament very soon. very happy to get back to parliament very soon. the family of a teenager who died from an allergic reaction after eating out one of the law change to improve food labelling in restau ra nts. change to improve food labelling in restaurants. the number of people killed as a result of domestic violence is at its highest level for five years. the vast majority of victims were women. and you take the television audiences on a very familiar subject. the pod cast comes to tv. willetts informal approach lighten confused viewers? the former prime minister david camero

we'll be seeing plenty of david cameron this week, and there are more revelations to come. n, bbc news. the former conservative attorney general — dominic grieve — welcomed mr cameron's criticism of the prime minister's decision to remove the whip from him and some of his colleagues — and said the tory party is "going off the rails". i'm glad to hear him criticise the removal of the whip. it is an absolutely exceptional event. it has taken the whip from 22 conservative mps — and it's worth bearing in mind another three have left the party altogether. four, i think, we're now at. it shows the way in which my party, or the party i was a member of — i think i may still actually technically be a member despite having lost the whip — is going off the rails. its success has been dependent on being a pragmatic party, on not having ideological differences and being a broad church that encompasses diverse views. and at the moment, it's in danger of turning into a sect — and sects do not win elections. when asked about how the culture secretary, nicky morgan, said she'd vote remain in

there's more from david cameron's memoirs on the front page of the sunday times — including further criticismcameron "didn't believe in brexit" and backed the leave campaign only to "help his political career". the mail on sunday's headline: "we'll break free from the eu like the incredible hulk". in an interview with the paper — mrjohnson says that if brexit negotiations break down — he'll ignore the vote to avoid no—deal — adding — ‘the madder hulk gets, the stronger hulk gets. sam gyimah‘s defection to the liberal democrats dominates the front page of the observer. towards populism and english nationalism'. the sunday telegaph claims borisjohnson will use the upcoming queen's speech to unveil a tough new approach to criminaljustice — including whole—life orders for people convicted of murdering pre—school children. the sunday express claims british people have lost faith in mps — citing a poll suggesting almost eight in ten believe parliament is in desperate need of reform and 7k per cent believe it is not fit for the 21st century. and in an interview with the sunday mirror — the former wa

this is the palace may be shooting across the bows of david cameron. alive who might be tempted to spill the beans on their conversations with the queen. it is an absolute privilege to hold the office of prime minister and along with that, the privilege of having access to the queen. for those conversations which i meant to be kept secret, there is a privilege to that, too. limit of course there is, definitely. this is the thing, david cameron will sell himself out and sell out that privilege of the queen. -- honestly, i am trying to read his book but i get distracted because he is on the radio and the tv. david cameron from all angles! he was prime minister at 50. he got it really young. it is a painful, brutal process. when you watch these ex— prime ministers and i have met a few of them, they are all haunted. they all look really pained. a few of them — make only a few of them really leave on their own homes. —— only a he says he has been depressed in the book, since the brexit vote. i think this is a sign of him going off his rocker. we have been t

i think did numbers quite low when i was ambassador there and when david. cameron was prime minister the syrian problem was in its initial phase and probably that was not a big issue and nobody expected that it would continue and the result with that kind of huge floor of people into turkey the deal between turkey and the rippin union came on only in 2015 and recently in it has been declared by the european union i think. mrs morgan who mentioned that european union has already given 5600000000 euros to turkey to cope with the problems created by the syrian refugees in turkey you said that some people didn't expect the refugee crisis i'd suggest that many people did you presumably talk with boris johnson then when he was foreign secretary before you became prime minister obviously as he is today you really didn't see any understanding in britain that support factor support for islam ists in syria to overthrow the government would lead to a refugee crisis on the scale as i told i mean the refugee crisis what that that that scale in those years. i think when the brea

in his memoirs, serialised in the sunday times, david cameron writes... ropean. but mr cameron is accusing him of a loose affiliation with the truth and questionable motives for endorsing leave. nonsense, say his supporters. remain would have been the easier career choice. so borisjohnson led the campaign, he did so because he believes in brexit, and he's committed to delivering it. from silly hats to high office, some of the biggest names in the leave campaign just so happen to be among the biggest names in the government now, and mr cameron's book is a production line of put—downs. 0n michael gove, he says... this morning, michael gove was keen to keep up with the news... are you upset by mr cameron's comments? he's accused you of being a faragist, of becoming a populist. how do you feel about that? ..but rather less keen to tell us what he made of it. the now—home secretary had no such qualms, though. david cameron said he was most shocked at how she as a minister during the referendum campaign had been willing to rubbish her own government. the referen

does it matter what david cameron says?absolutely confirms what most of us suspected all along, he had absolutely no idea of why people voted leave in that referendum. he seemed to think — he called it a psychodrama for the tory party. millions of labour supporters voted for leave, and a great many people who have never voted in an election voted for leave. this wasn't about the tory party and it wasn't about him. it wasn't about was johnson either, it was about a principal, self—governing, immigration came into it, but i honestly think that immigration was a token, a symbol of the lack control. the democratic principle that you can vote, you can let the people who make your laws, that was the lesson. and instead of taking that argument head on, david cameron and george osborne led that remain campaign, instead of making a positive case for staying in the european union, and sacrificing some of our own sovereignty, they traduced and insulted and patronised everybody who wanted to vote leave. and the consequence of that was
