David Cameron emotional at cabinet farewell

David Cameron’s successor Theresa May and right-hand man George Osborne led the tributes to the prime minister as he bid farewell to his top team by chairing an “emotional” final Cabinet meeting.

Cabinet ministers spoke of a “sad day” but also Mr Cameron’s determination to remain upbeat and continue to drive the one nation Conservative agenda as he prepared to hand power to Ms May.

The new Tory leader moves into 10 Downing Street today as the UK’s second female PM.
