No change at No. 10

Larry the cat escapes Downing Street eviction

Larry the cat is to keep his job - and home - in Downing Street after it was confirmed he would be spared eviction when David Cameron leaves on Wednesday.

The furry feline has been a familiar face on the steps outside Number 10's black door since he moved in, in 2011.

And the "chief mouser" will stay when Theresa May replaces Mr Cameron as UK prime minister.

David Cameron's worst lie is finally revealed: Larry the cat

Today I want to talk about cats.

Or rather one cat in particular: Larry the Downing Street cat.

While the rest of the Cameron retinue is clearing out this week, Larry is staying on with Theresa May. Which raises all sorts of questions, but first: what sort of man moves house and leaves his cat behind?

The answer: a man who doesn't like cats and never really owned the cat in question.

That's right, Larry was a lie, an exercise in spin and branding. He was confected by spin doctors who thought the idea of Mr Cameron having a cat would make him more likeable and warm, more like ordinary people. But the man himself didn't like Larry and he doesn't like cats.

Not sure Theresa May loves cats...

Says it all really. 

I wonder what Corbin's feline policy is - he will at least have been inside No 10 as Leader of the Opposition.  Think it might just be a little doubtful that he'll be there as anything else.  Mind you he looks more like a cat person that a choc lab man.
