Starmer's Resignation Sparks UK Governance Crisis

TL;DR Summary
Keir Starmer’s resignation leaves the UK with its seventh prime minister in a decade, intensifying questions about whether Britain has become ungovernable. The analysis argues that while voter anger exists, the instability mostly reflects party leadership churn and long-standing policy failures, from Brexit fallout to energy and welfare choices. If Andy Burnham succeeds Starmer, he’ll still confront hard reform, fiscal constraints, and market expectations amid a fragile political and economic landscape.
