Starmer is UK security services apparatchik: There's no risk involved for them...his job was to get rid of the Labour lefties and in return gets an easy ride in the media...he's funded by the US health privatisers, Israel and the military Industrial complex ( I see his man is already glad-handing in Odessa...the Brit operational war of choice being the Black Sea / Crimea) so he has all the main media risk-issues covered... Farage has neatly reduced the Tory vote and Starmer himself disenfranchised much of the leftist one...so truly deserving media adoration after the win: "Henry V after Agincourt..." according to Polly-filla in the Guardian.

It's all good. The appearance of democracy (FPP style) has been exercised, nothing has changed... geopolitical continuity has been maintained and the Labour party whose proudest boast was to have set up the NHS has been taken over by a clique whose honeymoon job is to now accelerate the hand-over of that milch cow to private interests.

Anyone celebrating this as some kind of victory over something: aside from the investors who are rubbing their hand in glee... will rue the day.
