Listen to Larry: Downing Street cat predicts England win over Ukraine
You may be feeling as happy as Larry because Boris Johnson’s mouser has predicted a Three Lions win over Ukraine on Saturday in the Euro 2020 quarter final.
A video released by Downing Street shows Larry the cat, who has prowled the halls of power for more than a decade, faced with a choice of the two nations’ flags.
After a glance over his shoulder, the esteemed feline walks forward to hunt down the red and white of England’s emblem – gifting victory by a whisker over the yellow and blue colours of Ukraine.
Larry arrived at Downing Street in 2011 and has been a trusted companion to three Prime Ministers, beginning with David Cameron.
He was the first cat to hold the rat-catching portfolio at Downing Street since stalwart ratter Humphrey was retired in 1997.
England face Ukraine at 8pm tonight in Rome, having beaten Germany 2-0 on Tuesday thanks to goals from Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane.
