Looking at Sir Keir Starmer, you start to understand why the Japanese invented ritual seppuku. Less than two years ago, Starmer led the British Labour Party to a commanding general-election victory, securing 411 seats in Parliament and becoming the first Labour Prime Minister in over a decade. But today, his approval ratings are in the toilet and his government is in disarray, with the Green Party scoring election wins against him on the Left and Nigel Farage’s xenophobic Reform Party rising on the Right. It’s been a humiliating fall from grace, and Starmer finally admitted defeat last week, announcing his resignation. (With his exit, Larry the Cat has outlasted six successive PMs.) But people in the United States should be paying close attention to the rise and fall of Starmerism, too, because if elected Democrats in this country don’t make some changes, they may soon meet the same fate.
