Larry the cat escapes Downing Street eviction

Larry the cat is to keep his job and home at Downing Street 10 after David Cameron leaves on Wednesday.

He was hired in 2011 as a mouser after a large black rat was seen scuttling past the No 10's front door in the background of a live TV broadcast.

A government spokesperson stated that Larry is a civil servant cat and does not belong to the Camerons.
