Indian-origin Rishi Sunak has been appointed as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As wishes pour in for the new PM, a tweet by Larry the Downing Street cat has gone viral. It features a photo of Mr Sunak giving a speech at the podium while the cat can also be spotted at a distance.
In the picture, Larry the cat is sitting beside a street light as Mr Sunak makes an address. “My old pal Faisal Islam made sure to get an angle featuring the real boss around here,” the Twitter handle of the Cabinet Office's "Chief Mouser" wrote.
