 David Cameron has announced he is to resign as an MP.

The former Prime Minister stated his intention to step down from his role as MP of Witney. In a statement reported by the Press Association on Monday, Cameron said "Having fully considered my position over the summer, I have decided that I am going to stand down as the member of parliament for Witney." https://twitter.com/BBCBreaking/status/775342539071033344 Cameron has held the seat since 2001, and the decision will now trigger a by-election in the Oxfordshire seat.

And so the British people reacted in the same way they always do....

For someone who never seemed to be able to crack a decent joke, there seems to be a surprising amount of humour around Cameron now:
