The dust certainly hasn’t settled on David Cameron’s time in Number 10. But the former PM is ready to offer his view on the world as it continues to reverberate from the defining decision of his premiership.

It was revealed on Thursday that Cameron’s autobiography – titled For The Record – would be released this September. Yes, a full month ahead of the UK’s deadline to leave the EU.

According to publishers, the ex-Tory leader – who was said to have bought a £25,000 shepherds hut to work on his masterpiece – has given readers “his perspective on the EU referendum and his views on the future of Britain’s place in the world in the light of Brexit”.

But, as you might expect, people on Twitter had some thoughts ...

First up were reader suggestions on edits to the title...

Just for the record, he probably decided against calling it Just For The Record because that's already the title of the official autobiography of Status Quo, and Geri Halliwell's second autobiography. https://t.co/MRoRoVmdMc

Meanwhile, after that spectacular outburst by Danny Dyer, some were keen to hear what Albert Square’s finest had to say ...

Fucking hell that photo. It's like the eye on the left is calm but the eye on the right realises the gravity of what he's done. https://t.co/usqgbATs8H

Can't believe they didn't call it "Happy as a pig in shit".

Don't know why I bothered sending all those emails suggesting it. https://t.co/5koTGs1u1R
