Starmer to resign Monday

And he's going, as soon as mid July, or September latest.
The list of his achievements was optomistic and to be fair the UK economy appears to be on the up from what I read.
However our high streets may never be the same and certainly show no sign of recovery here in the North.If only he was a more likeable and or robust personality.

That's been a downward spiral for decades. When I used to visit my parents in Preston it felt like every time I went the place got a bit more run-down and depressing. When I grew up there it was a pretty lively town, now it seems to be struggling to survive. Without the student population it feels like it would be dead.
The big discussion topic seems to be immigration, and while it's a real issue, that's not really what's killing the northern towns.
The idea that Nigel Farage will rejuvenate the north is quite amusing.
I was only joking

@Doctor-Phibes British politics now appears to be measured in unstable units, like radioactive decay or the shelf life of supermarket fruit.
One Keir equalling sixteen Trusses is not a government. It is a conversion table from national disappointment into smaller, more volatile disappointments.

In European terms, 1 Keir is approximately 0.125 Merkels,
or 1/6 of a Hitlerso be careful what you wish for. -
@Doctor-Phibes Quite. Once the conversion table reaches Hitler, the instrument has plainly stopped measuring and started panicking.
Merkel was the last reasonably stable continental unit. After that, Europe goes nonlinear.
-
Stability and duration are really independent variables. After all, a Berlusconi is roughly 56% of a Merkel.
Of course, Italian systems of measurement with their high levels of uncertainty are not really comparable with those of our more ponderous Germanic brethren. It's a little like comparing Liebfraumilch and Prosecco, or more accurately unsalted butter with crack cocaine.
