Leaner David Cameron arrives back at Commons after Cornwall holiday – with timely message behind him
Just a couple of weeks ago he looked porky on holiday in Cornwall
DAVID Cameron was back among the Commons people yesterday as a lowly MP — arriving in Westminster looking like he’d hopped off a bus.
And in spite of the “eating doesn’t kill you” message on the top deck the ex-PM has been putting life as a political heavyweight behind him.
Just a couple of weeks ago he looked porky on holiday in Cornwall. But it seems since then the failed Remain campaigner has attempted to shed the pound.
The former PM was spotted paddling in the sea wearing expandable swimming trunks.
The Tory backbencher then emerged from the shallows and dried off with a Union Flag beach towel.

An onlooker said: “He looked very relaxed and was clearly enjoying the down-time and the warm weather.
“But he could probably do with spending a bit more time in the gym — especially now that he’s lessened his workload.”
Before that, Mr Cameron was snapped enjoying a fish and chip supper as he chillaxed on a seaside wall with wife Samantha, 45.
His British coastal jaunt followed a trip to Corsica where he was seen wearing a different pair of Orlebar Brown high-fashion shorts.
