Your support makes all the difference.David Cameron has delivered his final Prime Ministers Questions, joking about his empty schedule and mocking the chaos in the Labour party.
Britain's former Prime Minister gave a performance many likened to a stand up routine and obviously enjoyed his final PMQs.
These are some of Mr Cameron's best gags of the day.
On his schedule for the rest of the afternoon: "Other than one meeting this afternoon with Her Majesty the Queen, the diary for the rest of the day is remarkably light."
On female Conservative leaders: "When it comes to women Prime Ministers I'm very pleased to be able to say pretty soon it's going to be two-nil...And not a pink bus in sight!"
On the Labour Party: "We've had resignation, nomination, competition and coronation, they haven't even decided what the rules are yet...If they ever got into power, it would take them about a year to decide who would sit where."
On Jeremy Corbyn: "He’s reminding me of the black knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail! He’s been kicked so many times but he keeps saying keep going, it’s only a flesh wound!"
On the advice his mother gave to Mr Corbyn: "He seems to have taken her advice and is looking absolutely splendid today."
On meeting former Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, who said to him: [American accent] “Cameron, prime minister’s questions, we love your show!”
On Ken Clarke: “Not many people know this, but his first act as Chancellor of the Exchequer was to fire me as a special adviser,”
In response to the news that the family are leaving the Downing Street cat behind at Number 10: "I love Larry, I do, and I have the photographic evidence to prove it...Sadly I can't take Larry with me, he belongs to the house and the staff love him very much, as do I."
