British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced his resignation on Thursday afternoon. Also “Larry”, a male who has lived at 10 Downing Street since 2011, is happy with this. At least that’s what the satirical Twitter account @Number10cat, which tweeted on behalf of Larry about the current government crisis, said: “I can no longer live in good conscience with this prime minister. Either he goes or I do,” it read on July 5.
The rats have been known to leave the sinking ship, but in London it’s probably more the cats. Since 2011, the famous tomcat “Larry” has lived there at 10 Downing Street – the official residence of the British Prime Minister.
Castling in the British Parliament has also left its mark on him – more precisely on the Twitter account “@Number10cat”, which is in his name.
Hangover as Acting Prime Minister?
“I can no longer live in good conscience with this Prime Minister. Either he goes or I do,” the account tweeted.
Thursday also read: “I am willing to act as acting prime minister because, frankly, that is less ridiculous than the idea of Boris Johnson staying in office for another minute.” continue until a successor is appointed.
“In any case, Boris Johnson finally gave a modest, coherent speech reflecting on his failure… No, of course not. Absolutely misguided whining. He thinks he is the victim. If the Tories don’t kick him out tonight, they’re screwed,” Larry said shortly after Johnson’s resignation.
“@Number10cat” is very popular in the UK. The recipe for success: political commentary with cute cat pictures and animal allusions.
By the way: Winston Churchill also had a so-called Chief Mouser – “Nelson” in the 1940s.
