Two years (and one shepherd’s hut) later, Cameron’s finished memoirs

DAVID Cameron has finally finished his Downing Street memoirs – in time to ‘detonate’ them at this year’s Tory conference.

The former prime minister’s ‘tell-all’ book will be published at the end of September after a series of delays as he suffered from writer’s block. He had been due to release it last year but chose to wait until after Brexit in March to avoid disrupting negotiations.

His memoirs are now set to come out around the time of the Conservative Party Conference, to be held in Manchester between September 29 and October 2.

Mr Cameron signed an £800,000 book deal with William Collins in October 2016 after a bidding war among publishers. At the time, it was claimed the book would offer ‘a frank and personal account of David Cameron’s time in power in No10 Downing Street’. The publishers vowed it would ‘address all the key issues and decisions he made as prime minister, including critical reforms to the economy, welfare and education, the bombing of Libya, and the Parliamentary vote on Syria’.

Mr Cameron famously bought a £25,000 shepherd’s hut to provide a peaceful spot in his Oxfordshire garden to write the book. He has kept a low profile since stepping down after the 2016 referendum. When he was spotted by TV cameras walking down Whitehall in November, he said: ‘I’m doing some work on my book.’
