Cat on a Hot Tin Downing Street Roof

The British prime minister, one of the nation’s most unpopular premiers ever is in hot water – over a f*@*%ing cat

A former Conservative candidate has suggested that Keir Starmer is a Moscow sympathizer because he adopted a Siberian-breed kitten.

You really couldn’t make this shite up: Former UK intelligence official and opposition candidate Stephen James has accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of supporting Moscow because he adopted a Russian cat instead of a British one.  

Earlier this month, Starmer introduced a new pet to Downing Street – a Siberian kitten named Prince. The breed is known for its long fluffy coat, and for being energetic and adventurous.   

The prime minister’s choice, however, has drawn criticism from James, a combat veteran* who formerly served in the British Army’s Intelligence Corps, and who was a Conservative parliamentary candidate in this year’s general election.   

  • ‘Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.’  Henry Kissinger as quoted in Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW in Vietnam (1990) by Monika Jensen-Stevenson and William Stevenson.  

Keir Starmer choosing a Russian Siberian kitten over a British Shorthair is the clearest sign yet he’s not backing Britain!’ James wrote on his X account on Sunday.

‘If the PM can’t support British Shorthairs, how can we expect him to support British workers?’ he argued, adding the hashtag ‘Back Britain Not Russia.’  

James’ anger was prompted by a photograph of the prime minister next to Prince, showing the small kitten on a desk with his paws on Starmer’s paperwork.  

Starmer has said his children had originally wanted to get a German Shepherd dog, but opted for a Siberian kitten after lengthy discussions.  

‘And this is an agreement after long negotiations – I said we’d get in the room and sort it out,’ the prime minister told the BBC in July.  

Prince has joined Jojo, a rescue cat that the Starmer family have had since before the election, as well as Larry, who has been chief mouser to the Cabinet Office since 2011.
