Words failing to flow from inside the Camerons’ shepherd’s hut

DAVID CAMERON famously bought a £25,000 shepherd’s hut for his Oxfordshire garden in which to write his memoir.

But it does not appear to have helped him much, with publication of his life in No 10 likely delayed until next year. Mr Cameron has an £800,000 contract with William Collins, part of the Harpercollins publishing empire, for his autobiography, which had been expected this autumn.

When asked in a CNN interview last week how the book was going, the former prime minister admitted that he had to “get on with it”. Sources close to Mr Cameron told The Daily Telegraph that the publication date was now “most likely next year”.

One MP spoke of “rumours” that Mr Cameron was suffering writer’s block, but added: “The more plausible explanation is that he wants it to come out after Brexit is finished.”

A spokesman said: “David Cameron is making excellent progress with his book.”
