Anthony Seldon has written biographies of each of the last eight British prime ministers. When he embarked on the project in the 1990s, the work was mammoth but measured. Then, the occupants of 10 Downing Street would spend several years in office, allowing him to scrutinize his subjects properly as they each stamped themselves on their times.
But Seldon now risks being overtaken by events. After the recent churn of leaders under the previous Conservative government, which saw the party cycle through three leaders in one year, Seldon had hoped that Keir Starmer’s victory in 2024 would herald a return to political normality.
Starmer’s Labour Party won a thumping majority in parliament and promised a “decade” of national renewal.
But less than two years into Starmer’s premiership, he may already be on the way out. After voters decisively rejected Labour Party candidates in local elections across England, Scotland and Wales, Starmer’s colleagues seem primed to oust him.
Seldon’s biography of Starmer’s predecessor, Rishi Sunak, is due to be published in August. By then, Britain may have a new prime minister – its sixth in seven years. Seldon, 72, fears he may perpetually be playing catch up.
“I’ll be on to ‘Angela Rayner at Number 10’ before too long,” Seldon sighed in an interview with CNN, referring to the Labour lawmaker seen as one of the potential rivals to Starmer as prime minister.
The revolving door of 10 Downing Street has caused many in the country to wonder: Is Britain becoming ungovernable?

I consider it a failed state.
Years ago, I thought it was going to be France.
It didn’t used to be. It was a gentlemen’s game for a while there. Then they let savage garbage invade.
Some of those must have been very short books. Liz Truss for example.
It is happening in America and most Western nations, there is no “people” to govern, no national identity, no commonality, not even a common language, Britain and the countries coming apart are not even being colonized by a foreign power, they are being replaced but even the disparate people’s replacing the native populations have no idea how many pieces the cultures will splinter into or how the mess with so many pieces in conflict and opposition to each other will govern itself.

Liz’s is a leaflet.
I think that The Powers That Be were pushing hard for Global Government. No national boundaries. You don’t need to be part of a country, you can just be a citizen of the world.
And as part of that, they broke down social structures which established individual nation states and national identities. Britain now seems more Muslim than Christian, and the national dish is curry.
But what happens — at this point — if people decide not to join the Global Government? You’ve lost your nation. And you won’t be a cog in the global wheel, so where does that leave you?
I think the US was heading that way, but for now, Trump has made us a nation again. I don’t know what will happen to the UK.

Trump is merely a speed bump.

However… a military coup could prevent this.
Would any British monarch have the guts to lead such a coup?
(By the way, this picture is from a Muslim demonstration in London.)
No.
They just need someone with the manhood to do it.
Yep.
Make Great Britain for Brits again. Stop the boats. Deport all savages. Then it becomes governable.
JUST IN: UK PM Keir Starmer reportedly plans to set out an “orderly timetable” for his departure.
52% chance he’s out by the end of next month. https://t.co/zNovPtu4NA— Polymarket (@Polymarket) May 16, 2026
Is there really any way to just kick out all the Muslims in England ? Seems like no one wants to go that far ?

I’ll take questions that end with the answer “yes”for 500 Alex

It can be down by brute force. But that would take a level of determination the West no longer possesses.
An alternative would be to pay the Muslims to leave and go somewhere else. Raise the amount high enough and this method might work. But again, this would take some determination.
It’s much easier to do nothing, and hope that things will somehow magically get better.
