David William Donald Cameron, Baron Cameron of Chipping Norton, PC (born 9 October 1966) , is a British politician who has served as Foreign Secretary since 2023. He previously served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2010 to 2016, as Leader of the Conservative Party from 2005 to 2016, and as Leader of the Opposition from 2005 to 2010, while serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Witney from 2001 to 2016. He identifies as a one-nation conservative and has been associated with both economically liberal and socially liberal policies.

In April 2006, Cameron accused the UK Independence Party of being "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists, mostly", [273] leading UKIP MEP Nigel Farage (who became leader in September of that year) to demand an apology for the remarks. Right-wing Conservative MP Bob Spink, who later defected to UKIP, also criticised the remarks, [274] as did The Daily Telegraph. [275] Cameron was seen encouraging Conservative MPs to join the standing ovation given to Tony Blair at the end of his last Prime Minister's Question Time; he had paid tribute to the "huge efforts" Blair had made and said Blair had "considerable achievements to his credit, whether it is peace in Northern Ireland or his work in the developing world, which will endure". [276]

In October 2012, as Narendra Modi rose to prominence in India, the UK rescinded its boycott of the then- Gujarat state Chief Minister over religious riots in Gujarat in 2002 that left more than 2,000 dead, [282] and in November 2013, Cameron commented that he was "open" to meeting Modi. [283] Modi was later elected as prime minister in a landslide majority, leading to Cameron calling Modi and congratulating him on the "election success", [284] one of the first Western leaders to do so.
