But one famous resident of 10 Downing Street will not have to vacate the premise: Larry, the cat.

The SNP refused to applaud David Cameron as he appeared at his last Prime Minister’s Questions with Commons leader Angus Robertson saying his abiding legacy would be Brexit.

David Cameron will not be U.K.’s Prime Minister for much longer – but Larry will still reign as the nation’s top tabby.

In his final address as Prime Minister, David Cameron has paid tribute to the work of Britain’s armed forces and volunteers as he reflected on the achievements of his government, before heading to Buckingham Palace to formally tend his resignation. “It is often a privilege to serve the state I love”. “I will miss the barbs of the opposition”, Cameron said, promising to watch future exchanges as a regular Conservative Party lawmaker on the back benches.

Speaking before she entered 10 Downing Street for the first time as PM, she said: “I have just been to Buckingham Palace where Her Majesty the Queen has asked me to form a new Government and I accepted”.

In return, Mr Corbyn thanked Mr Cameron’s mother for her fashion advice – the Prime Minister had previously given the Labour leader a dressing down telling him his mother would say he should straighten his tie.

“Sadly I can’t take him with me, he belongs to the house”. She said Friday she would not launch formal negotiations until there is a “UK approach” involving Scotland, which strongly backed remaining in the bloc.

“We can be tough and test our leaders perhaps more than other countries but that’s something we should be proud of and keep at it”.
