In what would be the most outrageous comeback since Lazarus, it has been reported that ex-Prime Minister David Cameron could return to frontline politics because he is “bored shitless” - and social media has reacted with its usual calm.

According to the Sun, Cameron - who famously left Number 10 and resigned as an MP after failing to convince UK voters to remain in the EU in 2016 - has told friends he has his sights set on becoming Foreign Secretary when Theresa May is replaced as Tory leader.

“David is dedicated to public service and has often said he wouldn’t rule out a public role one day, domestically or internationally,” a source told the newspaper, adding that 52-year-old Cameron is “still a young man”.

Unsurprisingly, the Twittersphere had thoughts ...

Some people pointed out Cameron - who triggered the Brexit referendum - might not be welcomed back to Westminster with open arms...

Ironically, literally everyone else anywhere near British politics has never been busier, for reasons not entirely unrelated to the reason Cameron walked out of No10. https://t.co/pRsVunICxw

David Cameron wants to return to front line politics. Pretty sure he should get the job of "minister of the absolute dickhead who got us into this nonsense by doing a shite referendum to get racists to vote tory" or just Brexit secretary or whatever

The only thing which unites Britain right now is never wanting to see the entitled chancer who bolloxed up the country ever again. https://t.co/6jJYUoZHG6

Others weren’t taking the news quite so seriously and resorted to comic relief...

David Cameron? Wanting to re-enter Politics? After resigning? And quitting as an MP? After losing a referendum? PURE PIG-HEADEDNESS.

To be fair, Cameron has at least one fan if he does make a reappearance in frontline politics...

I can think of far worse things than the return of @David_Cameron to frontline politics.

But at the end of the day, there’s only one man in politics the great British public want to hear from on Cameron’s possible return...

@MrDDyer good evening, Mr Dyer. I am a reporter at HuffPost UK. It has been reported that David Cameron wants to make a return to frontline British politics as Foreign Secretary. Do you have a comment? Many thanks
