Larry The Cat, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office, has confirmed that he has resigned from his post with immediate effect.

After Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab and that Universal Credit woman resigned in a turbulent day for Prime Minister Theresa May, Larry told a press conference that Brexit was fast developing into ‘something that he would expect to find in his litter tray after an all night bender on Dreamies and Nip.’

He added, ‘I sat down with Theresa May yesterday, and she couldn’t reassure me that I would be able to carry on showing my fluffy stomach to people to encourage a good rub before getting all ‘loony eyed’ and clawing them in a feline rage.’

‘I just lost my cool and walked out of the room with my tail up and balloon knot clearly on show, before I returned five minutes later and sat meowing at the door until someone opened it for me, at which point I just sat there and carried on meowing to be a dick.’

When asked if he had any thoughts about a replacement, he told the audience that he was confident that it would be ‘that fucking pussy’ Michael Gove.
