Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron, with his wife Samantha, waves to the media as leaves 10 Downing Street in London for the last time, Wednesday July 13, 2016. There is also speculation that May, Britain’s second female prime minister after Margaret Thatcher, will boost the number of women in top posts.

A Cabinet Office spokeswoman said: “It’s a civil servant’s cat and does not belong to the Camerons – he will be staying”.
“He isn’t returning to us as I feel we never lost him, he has been incredibly diligent at attending constituency engagements and surgeries and continuing to play a full and active role in West Oxfordshire life throughout his time as Prime Minister”.
Over the years, the prime minister’s office has been at 10 Downing Street but the family home has been next door as it is more spacious.
Mr Cameron signed off as Prime Minister with advice for successor Theresa May to keep the United Kingdom “as close to the European Union as possible”.
As soon as Cameron departed from the palace a spokesman for the Queen issued a formal statement stating that the monarch had “graciously accepted the resignation of the prime minister”.
Pro-Brexit Labour MP Kate Hoey tweeted a picture of herself and a group, which included Remain campaigner Alex Salmond of the SNP, outside the restaurant days after the European Union referendum result.
“I will miss the barbs from the opposition”, Cameron said, promising to watch future exchanges as a regular Conservative lawmaker on the back benches.
“And when I say willing you on, I don’t just mean willing on the new prime minister at this despatch box or indeed just willing on the frontbench defending the manifesto that I helped to put together”.
It would seem Mr Cameron is quite looking forward to the extended free time he’s about to have.
He found time to congratulate Wimbledon victor Andy Murray and other British players there, and rebuffed rumors that he does not like Downing St.’s resident cat, Larry – “I do!”

They also have a home in Oxford but are unlikely to move there while all three children are at school in London. But today the country is much stronger; our economy is immeasurably stronger.For me politics has always been about public service in the national interest.
