"The Prime Minister resigned earlier today.
David Cameron stood on the steps of Downing Street to make the announcement with wife Samantha at his side and surrounded by their 6 children.
President Jeb Bush congratulated Mr Cameron for his 7 years of service and his supply of peacekeeping troops in Pakistan.
During the first Tory government of the 21st century large tax increases on petrol and airlines were enacted.
The taxes were levied after Gordon Brown bequeathed a public borrowing requirement of £130 billion.
Within hours three men had already announced leadership bids.
The man who ruled London for eight years Boris Johnson, MP for Kensington since last year’s by-election; George Osborne, Chancellor; and Jeremy Hunt, Secretary of State for Infrastructure.
There were rumours that Andrew Tyrie was urging Kenneth Clarke to make a fourth bid for the Tory crown.
This will be the first leadership race within the Conservative party since 2005.
The Labour leadership has changed four times since Gordon Brown resigned in 2010.
Lord Clarkson of Brands Hatch was unavailable for comment."
No doubt foolishly I go on the record to predict that Johnson or Hunt will beat Osborne to become the next Conservative Leader.
