It's been a long week for David Cameron.
He's fallen asleep while trying to listen to one of his most senior colleagues, he's fought for the limelight with his biggest rival Boris Johnson and he's celebrated his 46th birthday.
But it all looked worth it as the PM got to plant a big kiss on his wife Samantha.
Yet it hasn't been a bed of roses as Cameron was accused of ignoring cuts to disability benefits in his keynote speech to the Conservative party conference, where he emphasised his "compassionate" conservatism and spoke movingly about his late father and late son's disabilities.
