    >Britain’s prime ministers may come and go, but Larry the Cat is here to stay.

    >Larry outlasted prime ministers David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and, as of Thursday, the six-week tenure of Liz Truss.

    >His appointment at 10 Downing Street began on Feb. 15, 2011, after TV cameras spotted a rat outside the entrance. The U.K. Cabinet, under Cameron, rescued the cat from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and officially appointed him as Chief Mouser, according to the U.K. government website.

  2. I am beyond fed up with this corrupt government and the fools who keep voting them in. I have no hope that they will be gone in the next election

  3. Wonder if that’s why people are touting Johnson to come back – so they can get people to forget Truss and pretend we’re only on our second since Cameron.

  4. Bet he has fleas and HPV with a bad strain mumps now though and is fluent in producing bullshit.

    (Even though cats can’t physically shit bull shit – and before someone tries to Reddit me, it’s true, google it, cats can’t shit bullshit).

    Poor thing. Imagine being fondled by four different Tories.

    I mean, it is _catastrophic_ to think about innit?

  5. Double ticket: Larry the Cat and Ronnie Pickering. I can’t think of a stronger and more stable partnership to navigate HMS United Kingdom to the ship graveyard.

  6. Unusual fact- Britain may be the only place where a cat has been a political party leader. The Monster Raving Loony Party had a ginger cat as its joint leader between 1999 and 2003.

  7. Plot twist: Larry has been influencing PM’s since day one. Sneaking into the bedroom every night, whispering into the Prime Ministerial ear ‘Make them all burn’ and ‘Kill them, kill them all’.

    It’s what cats do.

  8. Poor Larry probably thinks he lives in an Airbnb the amount of people who come and go

  9. Enough is enough.

    This Tory party have ruined the country.

    Whether that be from the extreme Austerity countries such as the US warned against, the self inflicted wound of Brexit drastically reducing our economic output or the recent give away of money to their Billionaires mates which has again crippled the economy.

    Enough is enough.

    No one voted for Liz, no one has voted for whatever scumbag they will inflict on us next week.

    Enough is enough.

    We need a general election now. 2 years is too long to let this bunch of clowns ruin the country more.

    Any advice on how to organise a March on London is welcome.

  10. Man that poor cat. Dude probably gets attached to one PM then poof, they’re gone onlyntonbe replaced by another idiot.

    Hopefully there’s someone at number 10 who’s been there for years who looks after him.
