Thanks Cork, not something I look at much at all but the headline seemed a bit out of step with the source so it got my interest.
When Starmer is replaced, it will see the seventh Prime Minister in a decade.
The previous seven occupants of 10 Downing Street lasted 46 years.
It’s a damning statistic but reflective of the age we live in. The previous seven were largely before social media and 24 hour news. They were able to carefully curate their images and control what went out, aided and abetted by a compliant media Establishment with which I imagine they had a very cosy relationship behind the scenes. I’m sure many still do to some extent. In the past scandals were harder to come by but now every word is pored over and socal media timelines rigourously trawled and even minor transgressions can become headline news because 24 hour news channels, social media and near constant live blogs need something to talk about all day and night.
