Larry the Downing Street cat ‘resigns’ in fresh blow for Boris Johnson

BORIS Johnson's cabinet coup has intensified - as Larry the Downing Street cat has 'resigned'.

Following Sajid Javid and Rishi Sunak out the door, the beloved No. 10 feline has appeared to reveal that he too is calling it quits over the cat-astrophic situation.

Mr Johnson's Chancellor and Health Secretary both announced shock resignations yesterday, dealing body blows to the Prime Minister following the fallout of the Chris Pincher scandal.

After the series of resignations rocked Westminster, a parody Twitter account of the No.10 pet went viral as Larry put his paw down with his own statement.

"I can no longer, in good conscience, live with this Prime Minister" the tweet read.

"Either he goes, or I do."

The post was met with a stream of hilarious reactions from Brits supporting Downing Street's Chief Mouser.

"Stay Larry, you can be the people's Prime Minister" said one supporter.

Another responded: "You can't go Larry, you're the only one in number 10 that the people trust!"

"Larry for PM!" said a third.
