A ministerial office room with yellow wallpaper and ochre curtains. A large white and tabby cat is sitting on the windowsill, with its back to the room, looking out. On top of an oak desk in the centre, a Siamese cat is stretching and shedding papers with its claws. Behind in, on the right, a grey tabby is sitting in a blue cardboard stationery box in front of a filing cabined, under a painting of a cat. On the left, a black cat with white socks is sleeping, curled up on a union flag patterned cushion in a leather armchair with a high back, from which a tortoiseshell cat is about to leap.

Today, Larry The Cat @number10cat.bsky.social has been resident at 10 Downing Street for 15 years. He is a stable genius who does NOT appear in the Epstein files. When asked for a comment, Larry yawned and decided to sleep on it. northwestbylines.co.uk/politics/mat...

A red-haired young woman in a chartreuse green dress is sitting on a sofa with a hot drink and a cat, while a dark-haired young man in a blue jumper in an armchair types on a laptop.

Thank you, I may have finally discovered why I am allergic to dictators.

Xylb'tok, a multi-limbed pink Martian, with a while Martian felinoid coiled around his shoulders, wearing white bottoms, is playing a Martian three-mouthed trumpet and knobbly maracas style instruments. Behind him are tufts of purpe-blue alien vegetation. In front a pinguin is dancing, and wile Lunar haggis, a shaggy dun six-legged creature wearing a Tam O'Shanter hat is twerking.

Colour pencil and ink drawing of Russian President Vladimir Putin holding US President Donald Trump by his tie and talking to him in his new White House ballroom, decorated in gaudy white and gold mock baroque and bedecked with crystal chandeliers. In the foreground two workmen in string vests, one with a name tag bearing the name Fred, are manoeuvring an impossibly long marble-top table on gilded turned legs, tied with a giant gift ribbon in the red, blue and white of the Russian flag. Conversation text says ' You might need a BIGGER BUNKER downstairs'.
