This friendly dialogue will only confirm fears raised by MPs that a foreign secretary in the Lords cannot be held properly to account by such an arcane institution. Lords and ladies shouted each other down to get a question in, picking Dave’s brains on Ukraine and Afghanistan, garnishing their inquiries with remembrances of their salad days in politics. He had this lot chomping out of his hands. Chomping out of his handsĬameron flattered he joked he poked fun at himself, observing that he would often be required to contradict past statements, but eating one’s own words can be a “fulfilling and satisfying diet”. The first question to the Foreign Sec came from George Robertson, who observed that Cameron had “given a fillip to those of us who have to go around saying ‘Do you know who I used to be?’” Dave, boasting a tan acquired while promoting the British sunbed industry, called Robertson an “incredibly esteemed secretary general of Nato” – setting the tone. He had just plucked up the courage to say how much he loved her in Dragon’s Den, when he found she’d gone - replaced by a cadaverous old Lord. When a space became available next to her, Lord Hayward quickly filled it, looking like the cat who got the cream. Spotted through my opera glasses were Peter Mandelson, John Reid, Sayeeda Warsi and, bringing the median age down by half, the beautiful businesswoman and Apprentice star Karren Brady, sitting at the steps of the royal throne. Cameron is a star to this political generation the way Vera Lynn was to the last, embodying a pre-Brexit era of consensus and conviviality. In fact, the peers were in a frisky mood, for the first question - not to Cameron, thank heavens - was about venereal disease, allowing various Lords to use the word “condom” even though few could remember what it meant and nobody had a use for one. “It’ll be like taking candy from a baby.” Or Horlicks from a grandma. “Old muggins here is taking my first questions in the Lords,” he replied. While Cleverly looked at human skulls (I’m not making that up), David Cameron, his successor as foreign secretary, chuckled over his Westminster fry-up. Remember, Thanos had to attack Xandar to acquire his Power Stone prior to the events of Infinity War, which Thor later confirms meant the destruction of Xandar.James Cleverly was in Rwanda to sign a treaty affirming that the country is absolutely, definitely safe to take refugees, and to ram the point home they took him on a tour of their genocide memorial. All things considered, that's not exactly the worst outcome. Which means a brutal new fate for Xandar, given Ronan's mission to reduce the planet to ash and its people to dust now unimpeded by the Guardians. Now is a good time to remind fans that this isn't a "what if?" or hypothetical outcome, but the exact one that Avengers: Endgame shows and says will be the restored timeline. returning it to his commander Ronan the Accuser, and skipping completely over the events of the first Guardians movie. With Star-Lord now unconscious far from the Power Stone's actual resting place, it becomes Korath who discovers and removes the Power Stone. Regardless of who had hired Yondu's Ravagers to acquire the mysterious 'Orb' from Morag, the fact that Korath was looking to claim it for Ronan was a point of cosmic significance. It may seem like a minor detail, but as Star-Lord clasped the Power Stone in his hand for the very first time, he was immediately interrupted by Korath the Pursuer and a pair of Sakaaran soldiers.
