Ministers today banged the Cabinet table as David Cameron convened the first meeting of a Conservative government for 18 years.

The Prime Minister was cheered as he boasted that the Tories are now the 'real party for working people'. 

It came as he put the finishing touches to his government this morning, appointing junior ministerial posts to complete what has been dubbed the 'Blue Collar' reshuffle after the promotion of working class, state-educated MPs.

The all Tory-team met in the Cabinet Room in Number 10 for the first time after David Cameron's surprise election victory.

The Conservatives won a 12-seat majority in the House of Commons in Thursday May 07,2015 election, taking 331 of the 650 seats.

Mr Cameron told his ministers that the Tories are now the 'real party for working people' as he set out plans for 2million more jobs and help with the cost of childcare

After taking his seat, David Cameron said: 'I want everyone around this table to remember who we're for. Every decision we take, every policy we pursue, every programme we initiate, never forget: we're here to give everyone in our country the chance to make the most of their life.
'The pundits might call it 'Blue Collar Conservatism', others being on the side of hard-working taxpayers. I call it being the real party for working people: giving everyone in our country the chance to get on, with the dignity of a job, the pride of a pay-cheque, a home of their own and the security and peace of mind that comes from being able to support a family.
'And just as important - for those that can't work, the support they need at every stage of their lives.'
