British PM condemned over ‘Russian cat’ 

A former Conversative candidate has suggested that Keir Starmer is a Moscow sympathizer because he adopted a Siberian-breed kitten  

Former UK intelligence official and opposition candidate Stephen James has accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer of supporting Moscow because he adopted a “Russian” cat instead of a “British” one.  

Earlier this month, Starmer introduced a new pet to Downing Street – a Siberian kitten named Prince. The breed is known for its long fluffy coat, and for being “energetic and adventurous.”   

The prime minister’s choice, however, has drawn criticism from James, a combat veteran who formerly served in the British Army’s Intelligence Corps, and who was a Conservative parliamentary candidate in this year’s general election.   

“Keir Starmer choosing a Russian Siberian kitten over a British Shorthair is the clearest sign yet he’s not backing Britain!” James wrote on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday.

“If the PM can’t support British Shorthairs, how can we expect him to support British workers?” he argued, adding the hashtag ‘Back Britain Not Russia.’
