the UK's gone to the dogs.... but there is hope with the cat......Larry the Cat, the official chief mouser of 10 Downing Street, has jokingly laid claim to the premiership via Twitter, announcing on Thursday that he had been anointed by King Charles himself. “The King has asked me to become Prime Minister because this nonsense has gone on long enough,” the account tweeted, accompanied by a photo of himself seated before a miniature podium

bojo out......
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has dropped out of the race to 10 Downing Street, Sky News reported on Sunday. Johnson was considered a potential replacement for Liz Truss, the former Conservative leader and Prime Minister, who resigned Thursday.
"Boris Johnson is out of the Conservative leadership race," the channel said in a statement. According to the broadcaster, the move opens the door to former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, who announced his bid earlier on Sunday.
After Truss’ resignation last week, Johnson was rumored to be seeking his old position. Allies of Johnson claimed that he had 100 backers in the party needed to run for PM, though media outlets refuted that claim.
Johnson claims to have enough backing to win the Prime Minister post. However, he said in a statement it “would simply not be the right thing to do.”
“There is a very good chance that I would be successful in the election with Conservative Party members - and that I could indeed be back in Downing Street on Friday,” Johnson said in a statement. “But in the course of the last days I have sadly come to the conclusion that this would simply not be the right thing to do. You can't govern effectively unless you have a united party in parliament.”
Johnson claimed to have the support of 102 MPs, enough to run for the office of Prime Minister. However, only 57 MPs publicly declared for Johnson. With him announcing he would not seek the position, it is unlikely the public will find out if the claim was true.

chief mouser.....
The UK’s lower house of parliament has been denied a request for a cat to tackle a rodent infestation, after an animal care home group said poisonous traps deployed in the building could put felines in danger.
The House of Commons was “deemed to be an unsuitable environment for a cat due to the use of poisonous rodent traps,”the Daily Mail reported on Sunday, citing comments from London’s Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
The animal welfare group, located on the other side of the Thames River from the Palace of Westminster, told the newspaper that it had previously successfully “rehomed working cats”to various government buildings.
The group said that 16-year-old Larry, a tabby cat who has his own X (formerly Twitter) account, had previously been transferred to the Prime Minister’s Office at 10 Downing Street, where he has served as ‘Chief Mouser’ since 2011.
Another, named Gladstone, has taken up residence at the UK Treasury Office, while a third, Palmerston – who is now retired – was previously a regular fixture at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Former leader of the House, Andrea Leadsom, told the Sunday Times in May that the Commons was “awash” with rodents, adding: “if you left a half-eaten bowl of crisps out, they’d be munched by the next morning.”
Renovation work carried out in February has been blamed for “migrating” rats and mice from Underground train stations to parliament buildings.
An estimate from the British Pest Control Association has suggested that there could be as many as 120 million rats in the United Kingdom – a figure almost double that of the UK’s human population. It added that unusually warm winters have helped the rat population thrive, after previous, harsher winter months had effectively culled the rodents.
The UK government’s pest problems also extend to moths and bed bugs, with the Daily Express reporting on Sunday that the House of Commons spent at least £112,000 ($142,000) attempting to eradicate the problem in 2022 alone.
