KYIV — Barely six months after his landslide victory in July, Keir Starmer has been hammered in the polls, beaten up by the financial markets and faced demands from the world’s richest man to be jailed.

Swapping the political battles of Westminster for an actual warzone this week, the British prime minister found inspiration in the resolve of the Ukrainian people, and his stoical host, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In an exclusive interview with POLITICO, Starmer scotched speculation about an early election, stating clearly that the next one won’t come before mid-2029. And he declared that he intends to win it and then serve out a full second term.

His plan is to join Chicoms, be a vassal state.

At current trends he’s lucky if he gets 10 more weeks.

Perhaps; former British PM Boris Johnson's take: "Britain is now governed by a small cabal of Left-wing lawyers, old cronies of Starmer, who actively rejoice in the humiliation of their country."

I’ll be a little surprised if he lasts long it will depend on a few factors

How loyal are his troops it’s a big majority he secured but I dont know how loyal they are to him

He doesn’t seem much of a leader or inspiring.

Announced in Kiev Where Z man doesn’t have that problem, having cancelled elections and all. Maybe that’s why’s he’s there in the thrall of his bromance. A vision of things to come and the only way he gets another 10 years is if the elections are cancelled.

Long before he was PM Starmer was the running joke on a few UK talk shows I’ve watched. The jokes seem to revolve around him being dull and lacking a personality. If that’s true he’s not gonna inspire a lot of genuine loyalty.

He’s on borrowed time if the economy does not improve and the budget and financial year are all happening soon (March/April) his tax rises will come in to full effect and i dont see it going well (businesses with lay offs etc)

Your 10 week timeline could be eerily accurate

As an American taxpayer I fully support the UK taking over in the Ukraine especially if they send their equipment and their money to support the war and leave us out of it.

He’s not planning on staying in power that long by democratic means.
