So the UK is getting their second woman Prime Minister
by digby
The home secretary Theresa May, is to succeed Cameron on Wednesday, just two days after she won the Conservative Party’s leadership contest.
Above, she walked past the only member of the household remaining behind: Larry the Cat, also known as chief mouser to the cabinet office.
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.
“It’s a civil servant’s cat and does not belong to the Camerons – he will be staying,” a government spokesman said.
He looks like he knows what he’s doing. But I don’t think he cares for those shoes …
Unfortunately May is a Tory like the only other woman PM.
