Robert Buckland said: “I’ve been a strong supporter of Theresa May so I’m delighted”.

“You can achieve a lot of things in politics”, Cameron, 49, said, before a packed lower house.

The outgoing Tory leader used his last Prime Minister’s Questions to quash a rumour that he was not a fan of the cat, officially known as the chief mouser.

“But I mean willing all of you on”.

Bowing out on Wednesday, Cameron said: “Nothing is really impossible if you put your mind to it. After all, as I once said, I was the future, once”, he said.

France has called for the rapid execution of the procedures for Britain to leave the European Union, with government spokesman Stephane Le Foll telling reporters on Wednesday that Paris’s position remained unchanged with the arrival of May as the UK’s prime minister.

Cameron also took a moment to discuss the Downing Street cat, Larry, who is being left behind to keep working as the resident mouse-catcher. Cameron says he wanted to scotch “the rumor that somehow I don’t love Larry”. “I do”, he insisted. And he held up “photographic evidence” of it – a picture of him with Larry sitting on his lap.

But he paid some tribute to Mr Corbyn telling him he admired his tenacity in holding on.

“He is reminding me of the black knight in Monty Python’s Holy Grail”. But Juncker told reporters in Beijing that he had “no beef” with Cameron.

Tributes to Mr Cameron, who was Prime Minister for six years and Conservative leader for almost 11 years, poured in from party members in Oxfordshire.

The prime minister said he was hopeful that the Brain family would secure a work visa to remain in Scotland.

Naturally, internet chat around what will probably end up being referred to as “hum-gate” has centred on exactly what the Prime Minister was humming.

Former Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, who launched the pink bus campaign, smiled at the joke from the back benches.

Cameron also said that he was beginning to like the tenacity of Corbyn in holding on to the Labour leader role, despite opposition from within the party.

He said: “He came to Bolton before the election and was full of bluster about improving our train services we have certainly not got the service he was promising”. We’ve had resignation, nomination, competition and coronation.
