Another political legend bites the dust

Cherie better have an alibi

 

Humphrey the Number 10 cat has died, Downing Street confirmed.

The moggy died last week at the home of a Cabinet Office worker who took him in when he "retired".

Humphrey left Downing Street shortly after the Blairs moved in in 1997 amid persistent reports that Cherie did not like him.

A Downing Street spokesman said last night: "I can confirm we have been told that Humphrey sadly died last week some time."

In 1997 official questions were asked in the House of Commons about his disappearance from Downing Street.

Humphrey also went missing while John Major was in Downing Street. He was presumed to have died then. But he was returned when staff at a Westminster medical college read his obituary and realised the cat that had walked into their building was Humphrey.
