The eyes have it

Yet another one in Westminster with his claws out... Sir Lindsay's cat Attlee

- NADA FARHOUD

AFTER 73 years, an Attlee once again rules Westminster.

But this time it's a cat - owned by Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle and his wife Lady Catherine who patrols the corridors of power (looking for rodents).

The puss named after post-war prime minister Clement Attlee is chief mouser in the Commons.

He lives at the Speaker's House alongside moggy Clem, who is also named after the former Labour PM.

Clem was a stray who joined the Hoyle household last summer after turning up at their door.

Sir Lindsay, 67, said: "Anybody who likes cats are nice people." He added that he would like there to be cats across the Commons to deal with the rodent population.
