Political Animals The secret life of the cats and dogs of Westminster and Washington

Larry the cat at Downing Street has seen off five Prime Ministers and is a national institution. But he comes from a long line of political animals both in Westminster and Washington.
Tracing the political (and not-so-political) tussles of the dogs, cats and even tarantulas on both sides of the Atlantic from the time of Cardinal Wolsey, political journalist and former special adviser Peter Cardwell tells never-before-heard tales from senior figures including Rishi Sunak, Sue Gray and David Cameron’s adviser who selected Larry from Battersea Dogs’ & Cats’ Home, who breaks her silence about the times One Direction and President Obama met the moggy.
