elect Larry as next prime minister
He gets my vote!
Amen to that.
He's likely to do a better job of it than the new incumbent ....
I’ve heard that it was Larry that chased Truss out 😂
And that he tried to put her in Count Binface.
He's got rid of 4 rats so far.
😂😂😂😂
😭💀 I-
Once he becomes the new Prime Minister, he will get rid of the real rats.
OMFG 🤣
EPIC comment
Elect Larry. He has a 100% approval rating.
And is loved internationally!
Maybe not from dog lovers😂
@@lisadefries6718or those who are allergic to cats💀
@@lisadefries6718that y d pm out..😂
@@lisadefries6718as a dog lover I’m 100% team Larry
Larry the cat. The only honest occupant Number 10 ever had.
Love it 😂
Only one there'll ever be at number 10
He's a bit murdery, but he's upfront about it.
@@rbarreira2 he’s recruited them all into Larry’s army they’re going to take over when the time is right. The rats won’t know what’s hit them.
That's not true. There's a long line of distinguished mousers!
Number 10 is _Larry's_ house. Prime Ministers are just lodgers.
So True
Prime Ministers seem to get replaced quite often. Larry doesn't.
Squatters I say.
1000th like. I agree.
@@snakedriver Yeah. xD
Best decision Cameron ever made.
downing street cat is tradition.
Now it's a new monarch.
He said it himself in PMQs, Larry is a civil servant. Makes me wonder why the government doesn't get around to pay him a salary to cover his medical costs and food. Instead the No10 staff pay out of their own pockets.
@@Chris-ki6ui Larrys food is classed as government expenses.
“Testing furniture for napping quality.” 😂
Well, that's what politicians do at 10 D street.
When the cat has more name recognition and likeability than the prime minister...
True 😂
Tbf, this has always and will always be true no matter who the PM is, although it hasn't been much competition for Larry
We need cat parties. We can’t have Larry essentially a dictator when he has no competition
LARRY THE CAT, the ONLY GOVERMENT MEMBER THAT HAVE FULL LOVE!!!
and won't bull5h1t, you know where you are with a Larry :-)
Government.
@@garylovell6017 You corrected the typo instead of going for "the only government member that have (??) full love (?????)"?
@@grmpf I don't have the time for all of them. Have you seen how illiterate an increasing number of people are on this platform? It's getting ridiculous and shameful witnessing how bad the standards are becoming.
@@garylovell6017 I just thought it was a funny choice. Also: UA-cam comments were infamous for being among the worst on the internet back in 2007.
I read this as "Larry the cat is poised to become Britain's next Prime Minister". And I would be happy with that result frankly.
That is also what I read.
Same, I only noticed after the video ended and thought the AP had taken to some Kitchen nightmares style UA-cam channel management!
A human would still need to speak for him. Also, he'll just knock off a glass
Is that not what it says?
Oh
@@blobbertmcblob4888 🤔 they must've changed it
I love that he has his own door butlers lol , it's so freaking adorable.
I suppose a cat flap wouldn’t look proper on the door of 10 Downing Street 😅
Meow minister
I cant believe hes 17, he looks so young
Is that what tickles your fancy, nice
@@genichiroashina6372 absolutely diabolical
@@genichiroashina6372come on bro
He’s a cat not a human…
@@FastGuy1
So then as a cat he is actually very well into his lifespan, but he does not look like an old cat, he looks like a young cat.
Larry should be the prime minister. We'd all vote for him.
I think that would be a unanimous vote. 😊
Yes unanimous.
If he wants us to take long naps and chase occasional mice, tuna on Tuesday and little bit laying in the sun.. Im totally cool with that, Id even chase mice, but only for Larry.
Only if we allow animals to become world leaders instead if humans, but still someone needs to speak for him
I misread welcome as become.
Cat outside
Donkeys inside
This is offensive to Donkeys
@@gitanastanciauskaite3893 That's true. It is an old and out of date expression to say " You are a donkey". Although I love cats madly, at the same time l do love and respect donkeys for the following reasons: I was born and lived in a beautiful vine valley until the age of 18. We had 3 donkeys doing most of the hard work, especially during the grapes harvest. They never complained or showing any kind of boredom or rebellion while working for hours in the hot weather of my
country. The temperature was reaching to 39- 40C at midday, and we were harvesting from : 8am - 5pm. Our donkeys had a lot of patience and respect for the other animals we kept. My dad was taking care of them by giving them food and water on time. They lived in a very large stable, that we kept clean and warm. Loving and proud animals.I will never forget them. When my dad has reached the age of 73, he couldn't look after them and he gave them away. During the separation, the donkeys were crying. My dad was crying for days and months. When I was told, I was extremely upset but I couldn't do anything it, because I was already a resident here in England. My dream is to be able to help voluntarily, in a donkeys refuse in the future.
What did poor donkeys do to you?
Do not offense donkeys!
😂
Sunak hated Larry, now he's out and Larry stays. I love Larry.
finally some real news on subjects that people actually care about
Haha 😂 love it!
When I read the video title, I thought I saw "Larry the cat poised to become Britain's next Prime Minister" and I thought.....well, he couldn't do a worse job than the Tories have done......
Ditto
I misread it as that too and was very disappointed when I started watching the video.
i read it as "Larry the cat poisoned Britain's next Prime Minister"...
They should just make him Prime Minister and be done with it.
If he became our leader a h7man still needs to talk for him
People across the pond love Larry too!
As a Yank, I can confirm.
Would love him as our president! ❤
We do!
Mexico loves Larry as well
Absolutely true!
i love larry’s face. he just looks so british
😂
How does a cat look British 😂
😂
He’s the one who’s actually leading Britain!
"You know. Knowing too much can get you into trouble." - Larry
imagine he ran the country from the inside….😂
Cats sat right next to the pharaohs in ancient egypt. Larry for PM! Lol 😂
They built the pyramids and obviously the Sphinx!
@@beniteztheconman haha lol
I wish to meet Larry in person.
Same here. Wait for me Larry ❤
Or perhaps "in cat" rather than in person.
@@katz20200 😄😄😄 Yesss! Right!
@@katz20200 😆😆😆
Yes me too, I will pay the coffers some pounds to meet and greet Larry and save my time and money going to Buckingham
Larry has more charisma than the entire collective parliament
Not only the UK that loves Larry the cat,but most of the world ❤s Larry.👋💕🇦🇺
The only one who lives in Downing Street who ever does his job properly.
Getting on in years. Best wishes Larry!
Props to the world class vets that are afforded to it.
@@MrSdsokJust cry more. Most vets have plans now that make them more affordable then they were were
I thought this said "poised to BECOME Britain's next prime minister," and from what some of my UK friends say, that sounds like an improvement.
Larry, more honest than anyone else that has ever walked through that front door.
Make no mistake, it is Larry who pulls the strings.
Larry has been the most stable force in Number 10 for YEARS.❤😽
Larry for PM, he's the only one who everyone would vote for👍
Long Live Larry!
Finally, some news I actually care about
He’s going to outlive us all
5 prime minister, 2 monarch and many more to come and go, but Larry is here to stay.
Larry is obviously the true Prime Minister.
Larry, the real leader of Parliament.
Love seeing the officer let him in at the end ❤🐱
Larry for PM. You can at least rely on him to do his job.
Larry the Cat retained his seat and remains in charge.
Best leader this country could have
Vote Larry.
I vote Larry
He's such a laid back confident cat!
We love larry
The TRUE regent of the Great Empire...
Larry knows what the score is, he didn't move for Donald Trump and showed a bit of a dislike for him. He's one smart moggie cat and we adore him. 😍❤️😍❤️
Larry the Cat, Strong and Stable
Larry got my vote🤩
Larry is expecting new servant . He is a real Prime minister the whole time.
Larry has got my vote 👍
Mine too.
Poor Larry thinks he's living in a hotel,with the amount the guests coming and going 😊
Larry has been managing Britain for many years ... these humans come and go but Larry is the real Prime Minister ...
As much as I want to agree, I'm afraid it is not true. The country would be much better run if Larry HAD been in charge.
Only if he can speak
Larry the cat , " Ive seen them come and seen them go " .
Thank you, Larry, for your service and the continuity you provide within the national government
Larry to be the next prime minister!!❤❤❤
Cute kitty
VOTE LARRY!
We should elect Larry the Cat.
Finally, some sensible leadership in Number 10
So cute!!
Larry is the actual ruler of Britain, a wizard in cat form.
All Hail Larry, the quintessential - and most beautiful - civil servant, representing continuity and stability in the machinery of government regardless of the comings and goings of mere prime ministers. And all other ministers for that matter.
LARRY FOREVER
lets go larry
Larry is the only kind of news I need to see
Larry is really pulling the strings.
I want to visit Britain only to meet Larry in person 😊
@@ShadowBerry-gp7vw You won’t miss him he’ll be lounging about outside No 10. He has his own Police officer to knock the door when he wants to go back inside too😹
@@karyne826do u know if you’re you allowed to pet him?
@@studygirlmilly if he wanders over near crowd. You’re not able to approach the door of number 10. Sometimes he’s lounging by the window edges outside the house.
I'd vote Larry
I misread that as "Larry the cat poised to _become_ Britain's next prime minister".
Would have said, "THIS is gonna be interesting!"
Absolutely adore Larry. ❤
I read that as "Larry the cat, poised to become Britain's next prime minister".
I LOVE LARRY THE CAT
He’s the real power behind the throne
Congratulations, AP! Nicest feature article I've read so far. With no offense meant to British monarchy, Larry symbolizes stability in UK amidst interestingly volatile times in this island nation.
Larry done a better job in number 10 than the last PM
I can't have been the only one to read that as "become"
I read the same!
Nah, that’s just subconscious wishful thinking. Cheers to your subconscious. 🍺
I ❤ Larry
We need Larry as the next Prime Minster
that cat Larry is where it's at truly beloved by all ❤
Larry for the prime minister!
He is the star of the British Empire❤❤❤
Not much of an empire anymore
I read it as "Larry the Cat poised to become Britain's next Prime Minister". Full approval
Larry is a prestigious cat. More prestigious than a US president.
I'd trade both... candidates for Larry. He's got more charisma, dignity and intelligence than both of them combined.
I hope Starmer is a cat person. Larry is such a cute cat ❤
If he's not, he'd likely have to deal with rats... Apparently Larry's job is to be a mouser. 😂
@@cantin8697 lol he's been handling the tories so he has experience 😂😂
Corbyn wasn't a cat lover...so that's why he lost.
@@rjjcms1 lol not the worst point made.
Starmer is cat person, his got a cat himself called Jojo 😊
Love Larry!! 🐈
the only resident with virtually no haters... except maybe several mouse and street cats
Put a paper with two choices on it for any given decision. I’m sure Larry would make the better choice more often than any Prime Minister
He's the only one who is welcoming him.
I love you, Larry! 😽
I read "welcome" as "become" and didn't think much of it.
Smart beautiful kitty! 🐱
I pray he is Loved and cared for! Greetings from Cape Town South Africa. 😂🐬🐧🐋
He's 17, so yes; he's had a pampered life.
Larry's the one in charge.
Don’t care which party gets in - just wanna make sure Larry is fine
LARRY FOR PRIME MINISTER 🫡
❤❤❤❤❤❤Larry
Larry is the big boss ever 😊
I love Larry ❤ I'm not even British 😂
I love how he sits in front of the door waiting for the bobby on duty to knock the door for him 😹😹
