Britain Wants More Than a New Prime Minister
Sir Keir Starmer is, by polling, the most unpopular prime minister of the modern era. His departure would not solve the underlying problem, which is that voters no longer believe the system can deliver on what it promises.

Starmer's collapse is unusually total. It does not split by region, age or class in the familiar ways. It looks, instead, like a verdict on the political class as a whole — of which he is now the highest-ranking representative.
Replacing him with another minister of the same generation, the same training and the same instincts will buy weeks of relief and then return Britain to the same problem. The country wants something it has not yet been offered.
