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.

I'll rescue and rehome him

That cat has seen some shit. Good luck indeed.

@capnmatt.bsky.social · Jun 22

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

@margot-and-hamish2.bsky.social · Jun 22

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)!

Cynfulfan · Jun 22

They are going to run out of people soon

The cat is the best option for PM lol

Bill Sayers · Jun 22

Nine lives Larry!

Larry will do a great job. 👏 🐈🐾

bodacious95 · Jun 22

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

JCH · Jun 22

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

@shirleyc61.bsky.social · Jun 22

Larry as,seen them come and go. He takes,it in his stride😀💓💓💓💓

Cats can be Prime Minister in England, right?

Julie Bee🐝🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸 · Jun 22

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. 🇺🇸

@squirrels1963.bsky.social · Jun 22

Maybe if they stuck someone long enough🤷🏼‍♀️

Poor Larry They should make him prime minister at this point

DarkwyndPT · 29d

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

Good help is so hard to find these days, Larry. I feel for you.

Should put him on the ten pound note

The cat might be a better choice.

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...

Good morning, Lorenzo the Cat. 🇺🇸 (Dallas, Texas)

Maybe make Larry PM ??

I think Andy Burnham will be a cat person.

"It's a tough job but some cat has to do it!" And he's up to it. Doing a fine job, Larry!

Stuart #FBPE 🇪🇺 · Jun 22

Larry is actually the real PM. He’s been running his mogtatorship for years.

@doggoneestate.bsky.social · Jun 23

It must suck having to break in new humans every other month.

They should just make the cat prime minister.

Richard Adlof . . . · Jun 22

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.🐾💙🐾

Bobette · Jun 22

I bet he could write a couple of interesting bestsellers.

It least there is ONE sane mind in that house. Have fun, Larry!

7th in a *year*!

Old Man Dog · Jun 22

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

MarySez · Jun 22

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)

Jane 🇦🇺 🫶🌻 · Jun 22

Poor larry yet another dopey politician to break in.. he really does have it tough..

This is what happens Larry.

Paul Campbell Haider · Jun 22

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.❤️👍

Pass The Seed · Jun 22

I love Larry!

MJ Foghat · Jun 22

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.

I'm sure Larry will get on famously with dog-lover Andy Burnham.
