The conventional wisdom for months has been that Britain’s Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is cooked, finished, insert your metaphor here. He was done long ago, it has been said, and has only been kept around by his Labour party until now, to take the fall for their inevitable drubbing at the ‘midterm’ elections, so as not to sully the shiny new leader with the air of failure. Now that the job is done, he should be on his way post haste so his replacement can save the Labour Party and lead Britain to a socialist utopia. A fine idea…

In a post on X, Harris claimed that the ruling “gives a boost” to President Donald Trump’s efforts to try to “rig” the upcoming midterm elections. Harris also stated that while Democrats were “rightfully outraged,” they would continue their “fight to restore the power of the people.” “Last month in Virginia, the people made their voices heard at the ballot box and voted for…
