New prime minister Andy Burnham and his dog Axel to reside at 10 Downing Street

Following the recent general election in the United Kingdom, newly elected Prime Minister Andy Burnham is set to move into 10 Downing Street. He will be accompanied by his dog, Axel. This relocation brings a new resident to the historic building alongside Larry, the long-term Downing Street cat. Larry has served as the Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office since his adoption from the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in February 2011. Throughout his residency, Larry has witnessed the tenures of multiple prime ministers, starting with David Cameron. The arrival of the new prime minister marks the seventh leadership change during Larry's tenure. Axel's integration into the household will represent a unique living arrangement for the residence. These developments reflect the ongoing continuity of the Downing Street environment despite changes in political leadership.
