AngrySaltire on February 14, 2026 10:37 am ‘Chief mouser’ and ‘dies’. My heart stopped for a second there.
Sleepyllama23 on February 14, 2026 10:49 am Retired to Bermuda. He was living the dream. Nice tribute from old foe Larry there too.
LiamJonsano on February 14, 2026 11:04 am RIP Palmerston. A mouser who’s X account actually showed him and didn’t rant about actual politics at every opportunity Edit: imagine downvoting a guy who just wants simple governmental cat content
Efficient_Sky5173 on February 14, 2026 11:12 am Hire another one quickly, rats want to take over that address.
Away-Activity-469 on February 14, 2026 11:16 am How convenient, just as he was about to be revealed as one of the redacted names in the Epstein files.
tamachine-dg on February 14, 2026 11:44 am Very sad to hear this and was honestly caught off guard by the headline. RIP the top Diplocat.
qwerty_1965 on February 14, 2026 11:52 am When Larry passes the flags better be at half mast with a 21 gun salute.
douggieball1312 on February 14, 2026 12:17 pm I had no idea he’d left the foreign office, much less moved all the way to Bermuda.

Presumably he was living in Bermuda for the tax breaks.
RIP Palmerston. A mouser who’s X account actually showed him and didn’t rant about actual politics at every opportunity

His exemplar mousing took him far and wide, a legend on the paws
