- Cartoon: "Tory Baggage; Youthful, vigorous, bicycling Tory leader David Cameron surges ahead in the polls. Unfortunately for his green credentials and aspirations, it is revealed that while he cylces to work, his bags are carried behind in an official car. Meanwhile, in his lurch towards the political centre of the road, it remains to be seen if he has vanquished the old bedrock of the party faithful - the abysmal leaders, privatisers, fat cats, creatures of the night, Eurosceptics and psychotic Thatcherites - in short, the baggage.", http://www.andydavey.com/images/galleries/16/blowup/522.jpeg
Conflicts of Interest
- Apr.07.2016: David Cameron admits he did have a profitable stake in father's offshore investment fund. (Video) But sold it for around £30,000 before he became Prime Minister. The admission comes five days after the Panama Papers leak. They revealed that Cameron's father ran a fund under the name "Blairmore Holdings", set up in the 1980s, and run from the Bahamas. Downing Street issued a series of statements denying the PM currently benefited from offshore funds, or stood to do so in the future. Number 10 said Mr and Mrs Cameron bought their holding in Apr.1997 for £12,497 and sold it in Jan.2010 for £31,500. The Independent, Ashley Cowburn, Charlie Cooper
The EU
- Apr.07.2016: David Cameron admits he did have a profitable stake in father's offshore investment fund. Mr Cameron faced questions after it emerged he personally intervened to try to prevent EU transparency rules affecting offshore tax trusts. The PM was forced to respond after it emerged that he sent a letter to the European Council president Herman van Rompuy in 2013 arguing for trusts to be treated differently from companies in anti-money laundering rules. The Independent, Ashley Cowburn, Charlie Cooper

- Oct.02.2017: Iain Dale’s 100 most influential people on the Right 2017. Totally absent from the public debate over the last twelve months, it’s no surprise that David Cameron falls this year. Busy writing his memoirs, with the help of Danny Finkelstein, he is said to be finding the experience somewhat of a challenge. We’d like to hear more from him. Conservative Home, Iain Dale
- Mar.26.2017: Cameron aide's Uber 'cover up': Downing Street accused of withholding emails about its secret campaign to help online taxi firm and stop Boris regulating it in London. Opposition MPs pointed out that Rachel Whetstone, a senior vice-president at Uber, is a personal friend of both Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne. Daily Mail, Larisa Brown, Guy Adams
- Dec.14.2017: David Cameron takes senior role in China infrastructure fund. David Cameron is to take a leadership role in a $1bn investment fund set up to back China’s Belt and Road infrastructure initiative.

The fund was announced among a raft of new investment agreements finalised during a two-day visit to Beijing by UK Chancellor Philip Hammond as part of efforts to boost global trade ties before the UK leaves the EU in 2019. The UK also unveiled a $50m matching contribution with China for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to expand operations into less developed countries. The $100bn AIIB was begun in 2015 as China’s equivalent to the World Bank, with the UK as the first western nation to pledge support.

2016
- Oct.03.2016: Iain Dale’s 100 most influential people on the Right. Former Prime Minister. Having been in the top two of this list ever since its inception in 2007 our panel found it very difficult to place Cameron this year, for obvious reasons. So we copped out and placed him half way down. He would have been higher if he’d stayed in Parliament, but it seems clear that he won’t be participating in active politics and will instead concentrate on writing his memoirs. Conservative Home, Iain Dale
- Jul.14.2016: David Cameron moves into new home in leafy Holland Park - without the £8,000 rent per week. David Cameron and his family have moved into a £16 million house owned by a close friend who was given a knighthood amid accusations of cronyism. Mr Cameron, his wife Samantha and their children are living temporarily in a 7-bedroom, 6-bathroom house in Holland Park owned by Sir Alan Parker and his wife Lady Jane Parker. Sir Alan was knighted for services to business, charitable giving and philanthropy in the New Year’s Honours, prompting a row over cronyism. Mr Cameron and Sir Alan holidayed together in South Africa in 2008; the ex-prime minister also attended Sir Alan’s wedding in 2007 and was guest of honour at the businessman’s 50th birthday party the year before. The Telegraph , Isabelle Fraser
- Feb.24.2016: So much for principles! The PM accuses Boris of self-interest. But what of the top Tories who once flaunted their anti-EU views but now put their careers first? Almost without exception, Mr Cameron and his ministers crawled their way up the greasy poll by pretending to be Eurosceptic. This was certainly the case with the Prime Minister himself. When he stood for the nomination in his safe seat at Witney 15 years ago, he courted, and was helped by, the Eurosceptics. Whenever asked about Europe, he highlighted his doubts and alarm about the direction it was taking. (more...) Daily Mail Online, Peter Oborne
- Jan.22.2016: Cameron vows to end ‘industry’ of claims against armed forces. David Cameron today pledged to work with the National Security Council to end what he called the ‘hounding’ of service personnel by claimant lawyers. In a statement this morning, Cameron (pictured) said it was ‘clear there is now an industry trying to profit from spurious claims lodged against our brave servicemen and women who fought in Iraq’. {tag: MoD} Law Society Gazette, John Hyde
- Jan.12.2016: Tories vote down law requiring landlords make their homes fit for human habitation. Labour MP Teresa Pearce's amendment to the Housing and Planning Bill 2016, which would place a duty on landlords to ensure that their properties are fit for habitation when let and remain fit during the course of the tenancy, was defeated by 312 votes to 219. Marcus Jones said the govt believed that homes should be fit for human habitation, but did not want to pass a new law that would explicitly require it. Other ministers claimed the proposal would impose "unnecessary regulation" on landlords, and that it would push up rents. David Cameron, himself a landlord, was one of those who voted "No". The Independent, Jon Stone

- Nov.19.2015: David Cameron’s getting a £10m private plane. An aeroplane is to be converted for David Cameron at a cost of up to £10m.

Downing Street currently spends £6,700 per flying hour when the PM travels, but they expect that figure to drop to £2,000 with the new jet. Metro, Ashitha Nagesh
