Accused: Freya in her diamante collar (Picture: Roland Hoskins)

George Osborne’s cat, which went missing for two years, has been accused of being a foreign spy after suddenly returning.

Inquisitive Freya is under suspicion after she showed up last year at Downing Street to the surprise of the chancellor and his family.

His wife had received a call from someone saying the feline, which had been bought in 2009, had been found.

But its sudden return has drawn suspicion from some close to the MP, especially as it has reportedly been turning up in highly sensitive locations.

The cat has apparently been spotted in secure areas of the Foreign Office, inside Number 10’s cabinet room and even allegedly tried to access the Treasury.



‘Some of us think the Chinese got her,’ said a Conservative source.

‘She can get everywhere. You’d only have to bug her and you could find out half the government’s secrets.’

If Freya did turn out to be a spy then it would have been the purrrfect deception.
