TIME FOR A CAMBACK?

David Cameron ‘could become Prime Minister again’ if Theresa May is forced out over Brexit

The ex-PM's guru Steve Hilton has called for Mr Cameron to be the next Tory leader

DAVID Cameron was today tipped as a possible next Prime Minister in the wake of Theresa May's Brexit chaos.

The ex-PM could make a comeback if his successor is forced to stand down, according to his former "guru".

Steve Hilton, Mr Cameron's director of strategy, said his old boss "could be the best hope for Britain".

He suggested one reason the Brexit process has been so tricky is that Mr Cameron quit immediately after the EU referendum.

, Mr Hilton said: "What Britain needs above all is a leader with the confidence and the character to command respect and bring people together from all sides of this bruising two-year national meltdown.

"If there is a Conservative party leadership election, no doubt many able MPs will throw their hat in the ring.

"But there’s one name that should also be on the list - David Cameron.

"Considering where we are now, David Cameron’s return to No10 could in fact be the best hope for Britain."

Mr Hilton blasted Mrs May's proposed Brexit deal - but claimed it would have been almost impossible to negotiate a better one.

Instead he called for Britain to leave the EU without any deal, and use it as an opportunity to re-imagine the country's economy.

The Sun revealed earlier this month that Mr Cameron is keen to return to frontline politics because he's "bored s***less".

The former Prime Minister left Parliament in 2016, a few months after leaving Downing Street.

But he likes the idea of making an unexpected comeback, possibly in the key role of Foreign Secretary.
