Where to watch PMQs on David Cameron’s final day as PM

“They sometimes kick the red boxes full of work – Florence, you once climbed into one before a foreign trip and said “take me with you”.

Cameron announced he would be stepping down after the United Kingdom voted in a referendum to leave the European Union, a campaign he was against.

CNN reported that Theresa May struck a populist tone in her first remarks as British Prime Minister, saying that she planned to continue predecessor David Cameron’s “true legacy” of social justice.

And he addressed the rumour that he wasn’t taking Larry the No 10 cat with him because he didn’t love him.

The nine-year-old feline was rescued by the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and chosen by Downing Street staff in 2011 to catch mice which had been seen during television news reports.

“I am honoured and humbled to have been chosen by the Conservative Party to be its leader and the Prime Minister”.

His departure came just hours after his final session of Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons, where he won a standing ovation from Conservative MPs after telling them: “I was the future once”.

Speculation over Larry’s future has been rife ever since it was confirmed the PM would leave Downing Street for the final time on Wednesday.

“Sadly I can’t take him with me, he belongs to the house”.

David Cameron’s speech before parliament Wednesday – his last as Britain’s prime minister – was packed with moments both poignant and amusing.

Mr Cameron, who announced his resignation after failing to secure a Remain vote in European Union referendum, will today make his way to Buckingham Palace to officially step down – making way for his successor, current Home Secretary Theresa May. After his final session Wednesday, he is expected to formally tender his resignation to Queen Elizabeth II and hand over to his successor, Theresa May.
