Former Prime Minister David Cameron is considering a shock political comeback - and has his eyes on a safe Tory seat in Kent, according to reports.

Mr Cameron, who stood down as PM after the EU referendum, has made 'discreet inquries' about standing in Sevenoaks, according to the Mail On Sunday.

The report claims he saw the seat - which may be vacated by the expected retirement of sitting MP Sir Michael Fallon - as a good route back into front-line politics.

Mr Cameron has kept a low profile since leaving Westminster and has been working on his memoirs.

A separate report said he was 'bone-numbingly bored' combining his writing with after-dinner speaking.

The report said any attempt by Mr Cameron to return to the Commons was likely to prove highly controversial, given his decision to call the EU referendum which sparked three years of political turmoil.

But allies point to Mr Cameron’s record as the only Tory leader to win a Commons majority in the past 27 years, and say that at the age of just 52, he has ‘three decades of public service left in him’.

Friends of the former PM have denied the Mail report, saying he has no plans to return to politics.

George Osborne, who served as chancellor under Mr Cameron, has also been linked with a political return and is reported to have considered standing in Kensington - another formerly safe Tory seat which turned Labour in 2017.

However, Mr Obsorne - whose current jobs include editing the Evening Standard - also denied the claims.
