Larry the Cat appears unfazed by Britain’s latest round of political speculation, as Westminster once again braces for the possibility of a leadership shake-up.

While prime ministers come and go through the black door of 10 Downing Street, Larry the Cat continues to preside over proceedings with characteristic indifference.

A parody social media post attributed to the Downing Street Chief Mouser recently added to the political satire, declaring: “I have accepted Keir Starmer’s resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he’ll give me.”

In a country long accustomed to political turbulence, Larry has become something of a constant. Since arriving at Downing Street from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in 2011, he has outlasted multiple prime ministers, including David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, as well as more recent occupants of the office.

His tenure has spanned Brexit negotiations, repeated leadership contests, cabinet reshuffles and a succession of political controversies, all observed from the perspective of a cat seemingly more concerned with routine feeding schedules than constitutional upheaval.

Even the brief premiership of Liz Truss — memorably marked in public discourse by comparisons to a wilting lettuce — did little to disturb his apparent composure.

Formally, Larry’s role is listed as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office. Informally, he has become a kind of living chronicle of modern British politics, a fixed point amid constant change.

As speculation continues over future leadership at Westminster, Larry’s priorities appear unchanged: stability is welcome, competence is optional, but punctual meal delivery remains essential.

Governments may rise and fall. Larry, for his part, simply carries on.
