Boris Johnson channelled Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger at his final PMQs, signing off with a "'hasta la vista baby" as Tory MPs whooped and clapped.
The Prime Minister, who was kicked out of office in disgrace only weeks earlier by those same MPs, was in a boisterous mood and said he was proud of his record in Government.
Heading into today's question session, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said he thought Mr Johnson was a “complete bull******” who “took the p***” out of the public with his partygate explanations.

But the Prime Minister was unfazed and plumped to offer advice to whoever succeeds him in Downing Street.
He said: "I want to use the last few seconds to give some words of advice to my successor, whoever he or she may be.
“Number one: Stay close to the Americans, stick up for the Ukrainians, stick up for freedom and democracy everywhere. Cut taxes and deregulate wherever you can to make this the greatest place to live and invest, which it is.
“I love the Treasury but remember that if we’d always listened to the Treasury we wouldn’t have built the M25 or the Channel Tunnel.”
He added: "“Focus on the road ahead, but always remember to check the rear view mirror and remember above all it’s not Twitter that counts.
“It’s the people that sent us here, and yes the last few years have been the greatest privilege of my life and it’s true that I helped to get the biggest Tory majority for 40 years and a huge realignment in UK politics.
“We transformed our democracy and restored our national independence… I’ve helped to get this country through a pandemic and help save another country from barbarism, and frankly that’s enough to be going on with.
"Mission largely accomplished, for now. Hasta la vista baby."
