Is Keir Starmer speedrunning the UK prime minister job?

Original version ·

It feels like he just got the keys to Downing Street, but Keir Starmer is already packing his bags after winning a historic landslide victory less than two years ago.

Remember when the Labour Party won that massive, historic landslide? It feels like last Tuesday, but it was actually less than two years ago. And now, Keir Starmer is already calling it quits.

He announced he is stepping down as party leader and will leave office in a few weeks. No decades-long dynasty, no long-term master plan. Just a swift exit. British politics has officially entered its subscription-service era, where prime ministers get canceled before the show even gets renewed for a second season.

Perhaps Downing Street should just start listing the prime minister's flat on Airbnb to save everyone the hassle of moving furniture every eighteen months.
