From the evidence at today’s PMQs, he is angling for a second career in stand-up comedy.

Whether it be about the Tories going “two nil” up on women PMs (“and not a pink bus in sight”) or poking fun at Labour’s leadership problems (“we’ve had resignation, nomination, competition and coronation – they haven’t even decided what the rules are”), the jokes just kept on coming.

There were some touching reflections on his time in office, from the Downing Street worker who thanked him for making gay marriage legal to his praise for my “amazing wife Samantha and lovely children” watching on from above.
History will show that Cameron was pretty good at the weekly joust of PMQs.
