Tories convert No 10 into a short stay Airbnb
“The only good thing I can say about the guests - they don’t stay long.” - Larry the No 10 cat
“The only good thing I can say about the guests - they don’t stay long.”
Larry the No 10 cat was explaining to me during our weekly call how No 10 Downing has been transformed into an Airbnb short stay rental.
“The country is skint, thanks to the Tories. So they’re looking for anything that might generate some income. I doubt if much of the cash will make it into the nation’s coffers. Guests are required to pay fees directly to the PM - whoever it is at that moment in time. So far the only guests have been the recent PMs. All short stays. All non-paying.”
I asked Larry if he sees any of the old tenants.
“Party Boy drops by every week to pick up something he had forgotten. And to have a shot of the 50 year old whiskey that’s always in stock. As well, he loves to torment me by blowing marijuana smoke in my face. He and his cronies love to get me stoned. Truthfully, I don’t mind. He usually pours me a bowl of lager as well.”
“As for Liz, she drops crying her eyes out, and complains to me for an hour or so while she cuddles me and rubs her face in my fur. For some reason, she never remembers that she is allergic to cats, dogs, birds - anything from the animal kingdom. She then calls an Uber to take her to the nearest A&E.”
“There’s some hope that No. 10 can be a place for Harry and Meghan to stay when they visit. They’re certainly not welcome to stay with any of the family.”
