The only 5 reactions you need to watch Larry the Cat being shut out of Downing Street
The British public will put up with a lot – obviously – but they won’t stand for the mistreatment of the country’s most famous cat – Larry, the longest-standing* resident of 10 Downing Street.
*more often lying down
Here he is, issuing the most devastating ultimatum.

When theatre and film director Dean Johnson shared a clip of Larry being left out in the cold, it got exactly the reaction you’d expect.
They’ve just closed the door in the face of the Downing Street cat live on TV. 😱 This monster has to go. #BorisMustGo pic.twitter.com/ASA3yJ7fmM

These five righteously indignant responses say all that needs to be said.
Larry is going to ruin lives over this and I support him. https://t.co/bJfONiTDp6

All joking aside, I do rather feel that "Downing Street cat" is a somewhat impersonal name for the newly appointed Minister for Local Government, Faith and Communities. https://t.co/fSjLq66Ppa

Uhhh, that's not just "the Downing Street cat." That's Larry, the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, and arguably more respected (and liked) than anyone else in Downing Street right now. https://t.co/1YuW9truhJ https://t.co/p6mIARszP5

They shut out Larry The Cat? Surely *this* time he's gone? 🙂 https://t.co/ChuxYvV6DC

Oh, and a little update on Larry’s ultimatum.
My ultimatum has received more RTs and likes than the resignation of the actual Chancellor of the Exchequer.

As is right and proper.
