The candidate created by the higher power became the middle manager for the higher power - such was never in doubt unless, perhaps, in a democracy. More recently, the wild card was only ever whether Starmer was under or above potus. Jan 20 decreed that the higher power acts down directly through Starmer, at least temporarily.

If Starmer were ever “benefitting any sector of the population” he would be the Labor leader he completely eliminated (i.e. as not just leader but also even party member). This would be a very bizarre and highly inexplicable (if temporary) turn of events. By contrast, events as they have turned out, are explicable.
