absolutely afraid i think if they could see the way it's all worked out they'd look even more afraid than they did at the time but they look absolutely shattered by what had happened david cameron typical of his thing just sort of popped out you know it was just like oh yeah no we lost it we by the way we didn't really have any plans for what would happen if this was accepted i am obviously going to step down as prime minister so i won't help plan for it either and then just started whistling and walked back into that and she just like he started whistling he's just untouched

You can see if you go back to the video from announcing his resignation, it just sort of whistles his way back into that.

You just sort of think, just utterly unaffected by the things he does in power.
