I suspect that Cameron will have a place in the history books as the second- or third most damaging Prime Minister Britain has ever had, in terms of economic, social, and reputational losses.
His successor, Theresa May, is arguably worse: I would compare Cameron to the 1929 stock market crash, and May to America's Great Depression.
I place him 'second or third' because history is stil unfolding, and either of Mrs May's successors could be even worse: Boris is dangerously incompetent, and his dalliance with Bannon is ominous; but Hunt's is both malign and competent, and his appetite for destruction will not be satiated by the sale of the NHS and, worse, he will hold the levers of economic policy at the climax of Brexit's once-in-a-generation opportunity to profit from 'The Shock Doctrine' during the collapse of a G7 economy.
