@forum.europaeum: While British politics enters another period of transition following Keir Starmer’s resignation as Prime Minister, one familiar resident of 10 Downing Street remains firmly in place: Larry the Cat. Officially serving as Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office since 2011, Larry has become an enduring symbol of continuity at the heart of British government. During his time in Downing Street, he has witnessed an extraordinary period in modern British politics, serving under six prime ministers and now preparing to welcome a seventh. Since arriving from a rescue shelter over a decade ago, Larry has outlasted political crises, leadership contests, general elections, Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and multiple changes of government. His presence has become a light-hearted but notable reminder of the stability of British institutions amid often turbulent political change. As Westminster focuses on who will succeed Starmer and lead the country through its next chapter, Larry continues his daily duties outside the famous black door of Number 10, seemingly unaffected by the latest shift in British politics. While prime ministers come and go, Britain’s most famous feline remains one of the longest-serving figures at the centre of government. #larrycat #keirstarmer #downingstreet #europe #unitedkingdom
