David Cameron resigns as British prime minister

Pointing wistfully to the capricious winds of politics that abruptly ended his career, he said: “I was the future once”.

Mr Johnson, Mr Davis and Mr Fox all supported the campaign to leave the EU.

Before leaving the Prime Minister’s residence – 10 Downing Street – for the last time, Cameron addressed the press for the last time as the country’s head of government.

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.

Britain’s political change of command opened yesterday with Mr Cameron receiving a standing ovation at his valedictory appearance in Parliament as Prime Minister.

The former home secretary looked directly into the waiting television cameras, and said she would make decisions based on the interests of struggling families, not the rich.

David Cameron has again hit headlines in the media, but not for Brexit.

“Other than one meeting this afternoon with Her Majesty the Queen, the diary for the rest of the day is remarkably light”, joked Mr Cameron.

David Cameron will formally resign during a meeting with Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

Cameron has said Larry is a “bit nervous” around men, speculating he may have had some negative experiences before being rescued.

Mrs May, who was educated in Oxfordshire from primary school to university, said she was “honoured and humbled” to have been chosen as the new Tory leader and Prime Minister.

And Florence, holding hands with her mum Samantha and close to sister Nancy, returned a cheeky grin.

The focus will then switch to Theresa May who will be appointed his successor later this evening.

One of the more cheerful exchanges took place between Cameron and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

He was adopted from a shelter in 2011, and he spends his days “contemplating a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house”, according to the United Kingdom government’s official page on 10 Downing Street.

Mrs May, 59, suddenly won the Conservative leadership contest after rival candidate Andrea Leadsom pulled out on Monday.
