A fox caused all manner of chaos after wandering into Parliament on Thursday evening.
The creature was spotted by staff ascending a staircase and making its way into Portcullis House, evading police as it went.

A message on Conservative MP Julia Lopez’s Twitter account read: “Team Lopez: just leaving Westminster office for the night and see a fox climbing escalator into Portcullis House!
“We have seen some strange things in Parliament since 2017, but this tops it!”
Another social media user shared a picture of the fugitive fox eyeing a member of the authorities with suspicion.
And some were unfortunate enough to come across what appeared to be fox droppings after the creature’s political adventure.
So apparently there was a fox running around in Portcullis House atrium about half an hour ago, and now I’ve just found this outside my office (2 floors up!) #Foxontherun pic.twitter.com/4ZgY112cUo

“So apparently there was a fox running around in Portcullis House atrium about half an hour ago, and now I’ve just found this outside my office (2 floors up!) #Foxontherun” Labour MP Kerry McCarthy tweeted.
Footage later on showed the fox being removed from a building in a blue box, before being released onto the pavement.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
