...as his old pals meet up at a posh eaterie
IT wasn’t that long ago that as prime minister and deputy, they were running the country together. What a difference two years makes.
As Philip Hammond was due to deliver his Budget yesterday, David Cameron and Nick Clegg were enjoying a more leisurely morning.
The two men breakfasted together at the Ivy Brasserie in Kensington, West London, before a tanned Mr Cameron dashed off to play tennis.
The former party leaders now have more time on their hands: Mr Cameron resigned as an MP after stepping down as Tory leader and is focusing on the lucrative speaking circuit, while Lib Dem Mr Clegg is using much of his time to call for a second referendum on Brexit.
Mr Cameron, in jeans and a suede bomber jacket, lounged in a corner booth, sipping an espresso. Mr Clegg was slightly smarter in a suit but without a tie.
A diner said they overheard one of them saying ‘it was a good Government’ – presumably a reference to the one they ran until 2015.
Mr Cameron picked up the bill and they left soon afterwards, stopping to shake hands before parting.
