David Cameron didn’t read the room before celebrating the 20th anniversary of becoming Tory leader, but we hope he read these 17 scorching clapbacks

You destroyed our country by holding that ludicrous and unnecessary Brexit vote. How different our country would be now were it not for you and your government.

Your legacy is that you left the country with Brexit. It was avoidable; British democracy was being undermined in plain sight. You did nothing to stop it. pic.twitter.com/46dVmLaEv7
