Won’t someone please think of Larry?!

Larry. Chief mouser.

He’s put up with toddlers, dogs, Donald Trump. Five changes of staff already.

He’s soldiered on, fifteen long years of dedicated service. Not so much as a pay rise.

Come on cat fans, isn’t it time we stepped up and rescued Larry?

YANBU - That cat deserves better.
YABU - Larry is the only thing keeping the country running. He can handle this shit.

I think he is probably has some say over matters look at the evidence

he didn’t like the new decor Boris was out

he obviously despised Lizz on sight she was out very quickly

being a cat he is only interested in what is going on around him

vodkaredbullgirl · 24/05/2024 19:19

Larry gets my vote.

LongSinceGotUpAndGone · 24/05/2024 19:16

Come July ...

TheFlis · 24/05/2024 19:05

I have met Larry several times. He knows what he’s doing and can handle that shit!

He already has a good relationship with the press, he could make a serious bid for power with the right backing. Larry for PM 🤣

Personally I'd like to see him form a party and I'd vote for him

He's worried about the headlines. He thinks if anything went wrong, the Sun would print "What a CATastrophy!" Cats hate puns; it's a well-known fact.

HisNibs · 24/05/2024 18:58

I think the everything the current government has done was inspired by the contents of Larry's litter tray. If he went for PM, he'd get my vote

@Westfacing sometimes I think he’s been the only person in government doing his job for 15 years!

I assume he's been doing his job these past 15 years? There used to be footage of mice scurrying along outside No 10 and that's why he was brought in.

He seems totally oblivious to the huge number of assembled camera crew!

LammasEve · 24/05/2024 18:46

Larry for PM, definitely.

You don't need to worry about him, he's got the civil servants and police well under his control already, it's only a small step to becoming PM.

longdistanceclaraclara · 24/05/2024 18:43

I'd vote for Larry, and I don't even like cats.

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 24/05/2024 18:42

LongSinceGotUpAndGone · 24/05/2024 18:25

It strikes me that Larry would be a better choice as PM than the current 'clowns to the left, jokers to the right' option we currently have.

^ This. How could it possibly get any worse 🐾🐾

Loveatortie · 24/05/2024 18:41

Larry is fab, i was worried about him sitting on the window ledge in the rain 😿 he had more camera time than the hunky sound guy and Rishie 🤣🤣

OutwiththeOutCrowd · 24/05/2024 18:39

Cats don't like getting wet and apparently they don't have umbrellas at No. 10.
So my only suggestion would be to send Larry an umbrella. That would be my mini tweak to the status quo.

I would 100% genuinely vote for him.
"Felines against fuckery"

Show quote history

I’m with you.

Trust in Larry.

I'm no longer politically homeless.
Count me in.

ILikePistachios · 24/05/2024 18:29

Both YABU & YANBU, he deserves so much better but he's also holding the nation up. I just hope he's given a state funeral just as extravagant as the late Queens when he eventually goes to kitty heaven

MissMuffetisin · 24/05/2024 18:28

PickAChew · 24/05/2024 18:27

He's getting on a bit, though. He'd be falling asleep in the middle of Prime Minister's Mewings.

Doesn’t seem to have stopped Biden standing again

That would probably improve things and be a bonus.,

I have wondered if he’s playing the long game having seen off five PMs already… waiting for his time to shine. Vote for Larry?

(In case anyone thinks I’ve finally lost it - it’s meant to be lighthearted.)

x-post, clearly the Larry Party idea has legs!
