Londoner's Diary
Lord Cameron seems to be enjoying his new House of Lords perch. In his maiden speech yesterday afternoon, he took the opportunity to mock fellow ex-PM Boris Johnson, who famously compared himself to the Roman general Cincinnatus when he left office. “I have not been sitting, like some latter day De Gaulle at Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises waiting to be asked, how shall I put it, to Take Back Control,” Cameron joked, “Nor am I Cincinnatus hovering over my plough. I leave all classical allusions, and indeed illusions for that matter, to another former prime minister with whom I shared a number of educational experiences.”
