Keir Starmer’s resignation as Prime Minister has prompted renewed focus on Larry the cat, the resident “chief mouser” at Downing Street. Larry has served under six previous prime ministers and is now poised to greet a seventh. The cat’s longevity in the role has become a source of public amusement, particularly amidst the recent political instability. His official parody account has been actively posting humorous reactions to the leadership change, acknowledging Starmer’s departure. The situation highlights a sense of continuity provided by Larry during a period of frequent shifts in the premiership. Larry’s continued presence offers a lighthearted counterpoint to the serious political developments unfolding in the UK.
