A plush toy has been created to celebrate a beloved cat, known for brightening the days of those who work in and visit the House of Commons. The toy is a likeness of Attlee, the pet of Sir Lindsay Hoyle.
The toy captures Attlee's tabby coat and green eyes. It also features a green House of Commons collar with a portcullis tag. The description highlights Attlee's playful nature, mentioning his fondness for chasing paper, attending meetings, and greeting visitors.
Attlee, a brown tabby Maine Coon named after Clement Attlee, the former Labour Prime Minister, has a significant online following. Sir Lindsay Hoyle has described Attlee as a lively presence, bringing joy to everyone he encounters.
The cuddly Attlee toy is suitable for children over one year old. It is available for purchase in the Commons gift shop.

A plush toy can’t replace the need for transparency and accountability in politics.
