Larry the Downing Street cat is about to start co-governing with his 7th (SEVENTH!) prime minister. Some of them have been real doozies. Good luck, buddy.

That cat has seen some shit. Good luck indeed.

Why not a series based on Larry's inside track?

I hope Burnham hasn't got a cat Larry. That should be your only worry now! (I can't find that he has a pet, so there is hope)!

Larry will do a great job. 👏 🐈🐾

I bet he's been glad to get rid of the last two idiots who probably never even fed him.Let alone petted him...

Any British historians out there who can tell me if 7 prime ministers in that time frame has ever happened before in the UK?

Cats can be Prime Minister in England, right?

5 U.K Prime Ministers since Trump was elected with MAGA in the USA in 2016. It’s hard on ally relationships. 1. Theresa May (2016 – 2019) 2. Boris Johnson (2019 – 2022) 3. Liz Truss (2022) 4. Rishi Sunak (2022 – 2024) 5. Keir Starmer July 2024-June 2026.

Are we going to need the lettuce again?
Brad Moore · Jun 23
Larry is a very good judge of character. He has clawed his way to the top, and he will not tolerate bloody phony PMs. Unless they have treats.
jazzrat2000 AKA Bonsai anonymous · Jun 22
I don't think they can lose much by making him Prime Minister do you?
Rosecrucian Roeth · Jun 22
I hope they keep him well supplied with catnip. I'm sure he needs it.❤️
RicH Owens · Jun 22
What’s Larry got that 6 PM hasn’t ?
Kev · Jun 22
He'd probably make a better PM than any of them
RogerThat 🐕☕🏳️🌈🇺🇦 · Jun 22
For Trump appointees, heads of lettuce were used instead of cats. Well, that is until the price of food skyrocketed.
@susancragin.bsky.social · Jun 22
Larry for Prime Minister! He’s got the dignity, the gravitas. He’s never had a scandal. And he gets along well with other world leaders.
@squirrels1963.bsky.social · Jun 22
On the other hand wouldn’t we be lucky if we too could change our leader that easily. 🇺🇸

That cat is more than qualified to be PM by now.

Poor Larry. Between Liz Truss and Boris Johnson, he’s seen some things 😵💫
@chocolatefire.bsky.social · Jun 22
Till this👆🏾 post I thought the cat was just an AI meme 🤣 “Doozies” indeed! I’m still debating whether it’s worse to be outsmarted by a single cell organism, or have a head of lettuce out live one’s tenure as PM bsky.app/profile/numb...

They should hire the cat as PM.

Ya'll know that cats toy with their food, correct?
Russ DiBello · Jun 22
I don't know if anyone's suggested this yet, but "Larry" ought to "write" a tell-all book about what he's seen at Number 10. (I think I just made somebody rich!😉)
@eaglewatcher.bsky.social · Jun 22
Maybe Larry should be Prime Minister. He's got to be smarter. You can see he's definitely better looking. Good luck Larry.🐾💙🐾

I bet he could write a couple of interesting bestsellers.

He would make a much better PM than any human I'm sure.

It could be that Larry made sure the last 7 failed. Be nice to Larry
N. Jayaram · Jun 22
Only "some of them"?
@jamesvabrams.bsky.social · Jun 22
In the governing system of the UK, is Larry also a member of parliament?
@sac1965.bsky.social · 29d
Don't mention Truss. He had to deal with Cameron and Johnson, and then Dizzy Lizzy.
🇬🇧Trump dead yet? 🇺🇦🇵🇸 🇬🇱 · Jun 22
Is that the same physical cat? After all 'Downing Street cat' is a job title which any moggy can do. Prime Minister is a job title which any human can do, any number of different people have held that title over the last 10 years but they've all been PM (or First Lord Of The Treasury)

As a former American who became a British citizen last month, I support Larry the Cat being named as our new Prime Minister. We can easily transition from having a “pussy” named Keir Starmer to a pussy named Larry.🇬🇧🤓🚨👎🏻🇬🇧🐈👍🏻 Chairman Meow, you are not a catastrophic mistake for Britain. 🇬🇧🐈 🫡
Paul Da Pork Hunt & Mr Moo (Friends with Larry) · Jun 22
Hey Burnham Listen the fuck up and listen good! The nation in this political shit show only cares about the one and only important issue. Its not up for debate or discussion, but we all need to hear it & you need to sign a document stating and declaring it. You will look after the well being of

Larry is the longest-serving member of the British state. He’s even got the King beat!

Larry the Downing Street cat is about to serve his SEVENTH prime minister. 😂 At this point, that cat deserves a pension, a memoir, and veto power. Good luck, buddy! 🐱🇬🇧

Listen. I get it. He's cute and furry. But have we considered that he might be a demon, who shapeshifts out of his kitty-cat form to hide paperwork and send faxes to Russia?

Why don’t they just make Larry the Prime Minister

Larry, you are outlasting them all. Well done.
Elizabeth No War or ICE · Jun 22
I could understand if Larry is having thoughts about coups & authoritarian rule. I genuinely had to paws... uh, pause and think hard before continuing on to say, "No, Larry, democracy has value. Persevere. Surely there's a leader in the making that you—" oh fuck it, I can't. Go for the coup, Larry.

Happy to see Larry the cat today. Thank you for posting his picture.
Pass The Seed · Jun 22
I’m sure he doesn’t have a moral of an alley cat like the president of the United States or should I say so-called president? Trump and his party of pedophiles are running the country. When Donald Trump passes on, we should make a special day and call it the day the world rejoiced. A major party.❤️👍

I love Larry!

Why don't you just let the cat be PM? He couldn't do a worst job than the first six did.

They say cats have 9 lives. Does this mean that Larry has 2 more PMs to see off??

America would be better off if Larry was in charge of the country. Cats aren't stupid - just a bit aloof at times.
