Theresa May to succeed David Cameron as U.K. Prime Minister

BBC story here

The U.K. will get its second-ever female Prime Minister, when Conservative Theresa May takes over, later this week. Currrent PM David Cameron is set to resign, in the ongoing kerfluffle over the Brexit unpleasantness.

No word as to whether this will affect the Right Honourable Mouser to the Cabinet, Larry.

If anything, she has a reputation for being serious, but not particularly likable as a person.

Number 10 (appropriately) on the BBC list of today's most read news:

Larry the cat escapes Downing Street eviction

Larry the cat is to keep his job - and home - at Downing Street after it was confirmed he would be spared eviction when David Cameron leaves on Wednesday.

The furry feline has been a familiar face on the steps outside Number 10's black door since he moved in, in 2011.

And the "chief mouser" will stay when Theresa May replaces Mr Cameron as UK prime minister.

"It's a civil servant's cat and does not belong to the Camerons - he will be staying," a government spokesman said.
