Watch out, Larry: There's a new cat in Westminster - and he's named after a Labour prime minister
Larry the cat has yet to comment on the latest addition to the parliamentary estate.

Larry, the Downing Street cat, has made a name for himself after prowling the corridors of power.
But he may be feline threatened after the Speaker of the House of Commons announced he has a new kitten.
Sir Lindsay Hoyle has named his cat Attlee, in honour of former Labour prime minister Clement Attlee.
The speaker is known for his love of animals, with a wide array of pets named after key figures from across the political spectrum.
Attlee is a four-month-old brown tabby Maine Coon and follows in the paws of his predecessor Patrick, a ginger Maine Coon who died in March. He was named after a Tory peer.
During his time in office, Patrick was elected Purr Minister in a competition run by Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

Interesting, in a weird code-ish way. Bye Boris..
