A possible return to politics for the former prime minister David Cameron has been branded ‘bizarre’ and ‘unreal’ by politicians.
The Sun has revealed that the ex-Conservative leader Cameron is looking to return to frontline politics – and he fancies the role as of foreign secretary.
The report said that Mr Cameron was ‘bored shitless’ and would like to return to the Cabinet next year.
A source told the newspaper: ‘David is dedicated to public service, and has often said he wouldn’t rule out a public role one day, domestically or internationally… but he is only 52, and still a young man.’

Andrew Gwynne, the shadow communities and local government secretary, said: ‘God. No. Didn’t he do enough damage first time round?? Please spare us all.’
Redcar MP Anna Turley said: ‘The sense of entitlement is unreal. Please go away and think about what you’ve done.’
