David Cameron has been reflecting on his Brexit downfall for three years as he wrote his explosive memoirs.

But it seems the former PM has come up with a way of easing his pain over the disastrous end to his timing in No10 - by hunting.

Mr Cameron reportedly shot a stag on the island of Jura last month and named it 'Boris'.

It comes after a previous stalking episode last summer when he apparently took out a deer and christened it 'Gove', according to revelations in a column written by Alex Massie and published in The Times.

Mr Cameron has used his memoirs - serialised in the Times - to deliver furious rebukes to both Mr Johnson and Michael Gove.

He accused the PM of never having argued for Brexit before the 2016 referendum, and opting to campaign for Leave to further his own ambitions.

Meanwhile, Mr Gove was criticised for becoming a 'foam-flecked Faragist' in a bid to win the political struggle.

Mr Cameron has previously spoken about how hunting - which has been a long-term hobby, although put on hold during his premiership - allowed him to let off steam about political rivalries.

During a question and answer session with bankers at the Davos summit in Switzerland last year, Mr Cameron was asked how he spent his time since leaving Downing Streeet.

'I have used the extra time to take up shooting again,' he replied.

'I find that when I shoot a few Borises and Michaels I feel a whole lot better.'
