Ex-PM 'extremely cavalier' in Brexit handling, says Tory MP

The news article discusses the criticism leveled against former UK Prime Minister David Cameron's handling of the Brexit referendum. A former Northern Ireland secretary has accused Cameron of being "extremely cavalier" in his approach, treating the referendum as "some sort of Eton game". The article suggests that Cameron, who attended the prestigious Eton College, did not take the Brexit vote seriously enough, viewing it as a political game rather than a critical decision with far-reaching consequences. The former NI secretary's comments highlight concerns about the way the referendum was conducted and the potential impact of Cameron's perceived nonchalance towards the process. The article provides a concise overview of the criticism directed at the former Prime Minister, underscoring the perceived lack of gravity and foresight in his handling of the Brexit referendum, which ultimately led to the UK's withdrawal from the European Union.
