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.
