And finally… Larry the Cat caught napping
"David Cameron’s cosy dinner in his Downing Street flat with Eurosceptic Cabinet Ministers Iain Duncan Smith and Owen Paterson last week descended into a Tom and Jerry-like farce when a mouse scurried across the floor. The action-man PM picked up his silver fork and hurled it at the rodent, but missed. ‘Where’s Larry when you need him?’ yelped IDS. The lazy No10 cat was dozing." – Mail on Sunday
