More people in power should be forced to endure indignity, even if it's totally performative.

Sunak would look better in a bin, come to think of it.

I hope the person with the "L" gave it to Sunak at the end.

So the choice was right or further right? Sounds like the US

I’ll add that even tho Sir Keir will be PM by a Labour landslide, Starmer got substantially fewer votes in his constituency than he did last election. Those votes went to an indy candidate who challenged KS’s support for Israel’s war. And this cost Labour seats elsewhere, too.
Are there any lessons for US election watchers in tonight’s UK results? 🤔I’ll note this: The BBC has just revised down the size of Labour’s victory. In several of those constituencies, it appears Labour lost votes to candidates expressly running against UK support for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

True, this is important to highlight. I have particularly heard that labour's share of the muslim vote is not fantastic.

I’ll admit I’m just watching BBC from the states, but I think I noticed the same thing.
