David Cameron on Ending Alzheimer’s, Brexit and a Possible Comeback | The Mishal Husain Show

Nov 13, 2026 | How close are we to drugs that could cure Alzheimer's? David Cameron, who served as UK prime minister from 2010 to 2016, believes the pace of progress will soon make it a problem of the past.

In a new Bloomberg podcast, Cameron speaks to scientists at the cutting edge of research, including those pursuing a statin-style preventive pill. For the former prime minister, this mission is personal, as he explains in a conversation with Mishal Husain. His mother, Mary, died last year of a disease he says robbed the family of a “formidable” woman.

Cameron also talks about his own record on healthcare, the legacy of Brexit, his brief return to government in 2023 as foreign secretary and the future of the UK’s Conservative Party.



Cameron screwed up when in office. Now he is talking a load of nonsense, especially when it comes to the EU. If it hadn't been for him, we wouldn't have left the EU in the first place. And this country is all the poorer for it. End of!

These politicians are so full of hot air. There is only one positive thing I can think of when I think of Cameron’s term in office and that is his legalisation of same-sex marriage. That was a good move. Kudos to him for that! But all those years of austerity—more than ten years of it—brought nothing but hardship to many and destroyed the NHS system of dentistry as well. How many children are suffering in this country for that screw-up?

Further, that he thinks that Kemi Badenoch is good for the Conservative Party, well, that makes me speechless! She is as anti-EU as it gets, and she is anti-ECHR to boot. If she ever held the reins of power, this country would be out of the ECHR in a heartbeat. And that will be another Conservative débâcle to add to their list of débâcles! — © Mark Alexander
