Cameron makes digs at Labour in final PMQs

David Cameron on Wednesday urged successor Theresa May to ensure Britain remains close as possible to the EU after Brexit as he delivered his final Prime Minister's Questions (PMQ).

The Conservative Party leader will go to Buckingham Palace later to officially tender his resignation to the Queen. May will follow him to the Palace to be formally appointed his successor.

In his PMQs, Cameron mocked Labour for its lack of female leaders as May plans to promote a string of female Conservative colleagues into key cabinet positions.

“When it comes to women I am pleased to say that pretty soon it’s going to be two-nil, and not a pink bus in sight,” he said in response to a question from Corbyn that referenced May.

He also made fun of Labour over the slow pace of its leadership battle as Corbyn has refused to step down despite various calls within the party for his resignation.

“We got on with it. They haven’t even decided what the rules are.” Cameron said. “If they ever got into power it would take them about a year to decide who would sit where.”

On his own achievements, Cameron said he was proud of bringing record employment, improved school standards, the introduction of gay marriage and lifting low-paid people out of income tax.

"You can achieve a lot of things in politics...In the end, public service, the national interest, that's what it's all about."

Cameron decided to step down after losing his campaign for Britain to remain in the EU in the 23 June referendum.
