So David Cameron is resigning from Parliament, or as @cluedont puts it, “So David Cameron’s political career is drawing to an end, like a particularly excruciating shit.”

First, if you have a stomach for ham, watch the short clip of Cameron explaining his reasons to Sky News:

Former Prime Minister David Cameron announces he will stand down as an MP as he doesn't want to be a "distraction" https://t.co/Bcx0cIQB9B

Anyway – we’ll miss him at The Poke – he was easier to poke fun at than Theresa May – what’s funny about her?

Bye-bye Cameron, bye-bye.
