David Cameron: 'The selfie will come, the selfie will go'

Given that David Cameron posed for a selfie alongside Barack Obama at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service, Mr S was surprised to hear that the PM has now tired of the trend.

Speaking to Mr S’s colleagues James Forsyth and Fraser Nelson in an interview in this week’s issue of The Spectator, Cameron says that the selfie lacks longevity, claiming ‘the selfie will come, the selfie will go’:

‘It is an extraordinary phenomenon and it sometimes makes part of the process of politics quite difficult. Everyone wants a selfie rather than to have a conversation, and sometimes that’s a bit frustrating, particularly with your party activists. I want to know what they are finding on the doorsteps, but actually you are too busy having your picture taken.’

Since this means we may be seeing fewer selfies of the Prime Minister in the future, Mr S thought it best to assemble an album of his best shots. Mr S hopes he reconsiders, because he’s clearly a master of the art.
