After 5,500 questions at the dispatch box, the PM faced the Commons for the final time before heading to the palace to resign
Corbyn used his tried and tested method of asking a constituent’s question, this time from Nina, asking for reassurance that as an EU citizen who has lived in the UK for 30 years she will have the right to stay here. Cameron responded with a firm guarantee, but then he said that he had an email to read as well. He says he got an email from Judith on 16 September 2015 telling him to be polite to Corbyn because Tom Watson was far more of a threat. “I must find the sender to find out what happens next,” he said.

I will watch these exchanges from the backbenches. I will miss the roar of the crowd, I will miss the barbs from the opposition, but I will be willing you on.
And when I say willing you on, I don’t just mean willing on the new prime minister at this dispatch box, or indeed just willing on the frontbench defending the manifesto that I helped put together. But I mean willing all of you on, because people come here with huge passion for the issues they are about. They come here with great love for the constituencies that they represent. And also willing on this place. Because, yes, we can be pretty tough and test and challenge our leaders – perhaps more than some other countries – but that is something we should be proud of and we should keep at it, and I hope you will all keep at it, and I will will you on as you do.
“They haven’t even decided what the rules are yet.
Democracy is an exciting and splendid thing.
