Cameron will cede power to 59-year-old May after visiting Buckingham Palace to resign today. He yesterday gathered his top team for a final time.


The meeting was described as “emotional” by Culture Secretary John Whittingdale who said, “there was a touch of sadness” to the Prime Minister and his ministers.

“It was emotional but quite rightly we spent a lot of time on the Government business. But then we had a period in which people paid tribute to the extraordinary service the Prime Minister has given, led off by George Osborne and Theresa May our new prime minister. And then we looked forward to getting back to work,” he said.

Cameron had announced he would be stepping down a day after the June 23 Brexit vote.
