David Cameron’s children leave Theresa May a cute note welcoming her to Downing Street
Nancy, Elwen and Florence signed their names on a piece of paper left for the incoming Prime Minister
ONE of the first things to greet Theresa May as she walked into Number 10 for the first time as Prime Minister was a note left by David Cameron’s children welcoming her to their former home.
Nancy, Elwen and Florence, wrote the word ‘WELCOME’ on a piece of paper left in Downing Street, before signing their names.
The letter was revealed in a series of behind the scenes photographs released to make Mrs May’s whirlwind few days as the country’s new leader.
It’s very different to the notorious note left by Liam Byrne when he left the Treasury in 2010, when he wrote ‘I’m afraid there is no money’.
The Labour MP’s missive was picked up by his successor as chief secretary to the Treasury in the Coalition government, Lib Dem David Laws.
The attempt at humour was then used by Mr Cameron to attack labour’s economic record, brandishing it during speeches and debates before last year’s General election.
After the Tories won a majority Mr Byrne came to regret leaving it behind, saying he was sorry for helping to “hurt the party I love”.
But Mrs May was greeted by a far more charming message, although she and her husband Philip are still yet to move into the fault where the children have spent the past six years living.
The Camerons only had 48 hours to move out, after the now ex-PM said last Monday he would be resigning on Wednesday afternoon.
His successor has continued living in her residence in Westminster while the family finishing moving out and the home is prepared for her arrival in the coming weeks.
