Cameron resigned Wednesday, making way for new Prime Minister Theresa May to move into 10 Downing Street.

West Oxfordshire association chairman David McFarlane said: “David Cameron has been as inspiring a Prime Minister as he has been member of Parliament for the Witney constituency – a statesman who has put the country first without for one moment losing sight of his constituency duties”.
Standing outside No 10 Downing Street after visiting the Queen in Buckingham Palace to “kiss hands” and be formally anointed as Britain’s second female prime minister, May made a bold grab for the political centre ground.
Cameron has often spoken of his love for Indian food which he says he likes “pretty hot” and it would seem savored the spicy option once again as one of his last takeaway meals as Prime Minister.
“It’s not been easy journey, and of course we’ve not got every decision right”, he said, alongside his wife, Samantha, and children Nancy, Elwen and Florence. “As I once said, I was the future once”, Cameron noted, as his wife and children watched from the public gallery.
Mr Cameron also sought to dispel suggestions he is not fond of Larry, the Downing Street cat. “I will miss the roar of the crowd”. Finance Minister George Osborne attempted to calm markets and visited Wall Street banks Monday, telling MSNBC’s Morning Joe, “We’re out there selling Britain to the world”. Cameron stepped down after Britons rejected his entreaties and voted to leave the EU in a referendum last month, severely undermining European efforts to forge greater unity and creating economic uncertainty across the 28-nation bloc. The cat had been brought to the Prime Ministerial residence from an animal shelter five years ago.
The Kennington Tandoori, which is a favorite haunt of MP’S located in central London tweeted last evening that it had delivered the soon-to-be-former-prime-minister’s “last supper”.
The new leader, Britain’s Home Secretary – in charge of immigration and law and order – for the past six years, has the tough task of calming the country, and the financial markets, after the massive upheaval that has followed the June 23 referendum.
All the same, May has signaled she’s in no rush to start exit talks.
He began working for former prime minister John Major from 1988-93 and gradually rose up the ranks of the Conservative party.
Borrowing the Leave campaign slogan that captured the growing anti-establishment and anti-politics mood, she said her government would “do everything we can to give you more control over your lives”. “Florence – you once climbed into one, before a foreign trip, and said, ‘Take me with you.’ No more boxes”.

May has also said that she will not initiate the exit negotiations before the end of the year.
