David Cameron Backs ECHR Exit and Offers Government Return

David Cameron advocated for the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights during a series of interviews on November 13. Speaking on The Mishal Husain Show, the former prime minister aligned himself with Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch, stating she is "absolutely right" about the necessity of leaving the post-World War II framework to adopt a harder line on immigration.

In a separate interview with Bloomberg, Cameron expressed his openness to returning to public service, stating he is "absolutely available" to serve in government if Badenoch becomes prime minister. While reflecting on the political instability following the 2016 Brexit referendum, he argued that the UK should focus on becoming the European Union's "best partner" rather than seeking to rejoin the bloc.

Cameron also defended his tenure as Foreign Secretary under Rishi Sunak, specifically rejecting the idea of banning arms exports to Israel during the conflict in Gaza, which he described as "performative." Outside of politics, he discussed his advocacy for Alzheimer's research inspired by his mother's dementia, citing AI and genomics as keys to eventually curing the disease.
