<\/p>\nIs the new Foreign Secretary, Lord Cameron, already eyeing up another job?<\/p>\n
However, Westminster is awash with rumours that Cameron is lining himself up to be the next Secretary General of Nato. The incumbent, Norway’s former prime minister Jens Stoltenberg, stands down in October next year.<\/p>\n
With the Tories expected to fight and lose an election in October, the timing could hardly be better.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lord\u00a0Cameron hobbled out of 10 Downing Street in 2016 after losing the Brexit referendum, but made a shock return to frontline politics last month when Rishi Sunak appointed him Foreign Secretary as part of a major Cabinet reshuffle<\/p>\n

Lord Cameron’s short stint as Foreign Secretary, meanwhile, is a convenient opportunity to repair his reputation following the Greensill Capital lobbying scandal. The ex-PM earned a reported \u00a37.2 million from the company for providing access to MPs – before Greensill collapsed, making his share options absolutely worthless.<\/p>\n
So perhaps the \u00a3265,000 tax-free salary as Secretary General of Nato would be welcome in the Cameron household. It would certainly dwarf the \u00a3104,000 he receives as Foreign Secretary – and what’s more, he can continue to peacock on the global stage.<\/p>\n
Royal biographer and former Tory MP Gyles Brandreth has little time for Omid Scobie, whose new book about Harry and Meghan has tanked spectacularly on both sides of the Atlantic. Writing in The Spectator, Brandreth mused: ‘I have encountered quite a few senior royals and their staff and none that I know seem to have met Scobie. I am not sure who he has met.’<\/span><\/p>\n Judging by the sales figures, he probably hasn’t met anyone who bought the book either.<\/span><\/p>\n Penny’s pearls of wit\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Commons leader Penny Mordaunt was less than impressed by Keir Starmer’s attempt to cast himself in same mould as the Iron Lady: ‘The Leader of the Opposition is no Margaret Thatcher. It’s going to take rather more than a light perm, pearls and a handbag for him to pull off that look.’<\/span><\/p>\n Commons leader Penny Mordaunt was less than impressed by Keir Starmer’s attempt to cast himself in same mould as the Iron Lady:<\/p>\n Why Farage loved EU really\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In one of his final soundbites from ITV’s celebrity-ridden jungle, Nigel Farage painted a glamorous picture of life as a Ukip MEP in Brussels: ‘You get to the airport, there’s a chauffeur-driven Mercedes waiting for you. You want to go out for dinner, the chauffeur takes you.<\/p>\n ‘You get 300 euros a day spending money. The members’ dining-room… just wonderful – crab and lobster buffets every day. If you’re an MEP, the power that you have is incredible. You are treated like the elite. Women throw themselves at you!’<\/p>\n Why on earth did he vote to Leave?<\/p>\n Asked on GB News if he would appear on ‘I’m A Celebrity’, former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith replied: ‘I’ve been in the jungle for 32 years. It’s called Parliament, and it’s frankly worse than any insect bites.’<\/span><\/p>\n Quote of the week from Tory Party deputy chairman Lee Anderson: ‘For too long these namby-pamby, hand-wringing, pearl-clutching, Britain-bashing, EU fanatics and illegal migrants, encouraged by Lefty lawyers with no moral compass, have used our courts to frustrate democracy . . . Parliament is sovereign and we must stop the boats.’<\/span><\/p>\n Days after legendary Cold War statesman Henry Kissinger’s death at the age of 100, Corbynite book publishers Verso are rushing out an evisceration of his career, called The Good Die Young.<\/p>\n Imagine finding that at the bottom of your Christmas stocking.<\/p>\n Days after legendary Cold War statesman Henry Kissinger’s (pictured) death at the age of 100, Corbynite book publishers Verso are rushing out an evisceration of his career, called The Good Die Young<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/10\/22\/78799029-12848137-Commons_leader_Penny_Mordaunt_was_less_than_impressed_by_Keir_St-m-43_1702247060381.jpg\")
