US VP Vance Says Britain Has Been Failed by Leaders, Hopes Next PM Delivers Change
Reuters ^ | July 4, 2026

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said ⁠Britain ⁠had been "failed by its leadership for ⁠a long time," adding that he hoped the country's next prime minister ​could deliver the structural change voters were seeking after years of political turmoil.

In an interview with the Sunday ‌Times newspaper, Vance said frequent changes ‌of government pointed to deeper problems in British politics. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced last month ⁠he would ⁠step down after two years in office, paving the way for Britain's ​seventh prime minister in a decade.

Lawmaker Andy Burnham is widely expected to succeed Starmer after emerging as the sole candidate to replace the outgoing leader.

"What I see is six prime ministers in the last few years," Vance told ​the newspaper. "What that says to me is that something is very broken about British politics ⁠and that ⁠people are really crying ⁠out for significant ​structural change."

"I hope that Andy Burnham — and if not Andy Burnham, somebody else — is able to ​deliver it," the vice president ⁠said, adding that "whoever the prime minister is figures out how to get Britain back on track."

Perhaps the next king/emir will bring a lot of change. Does the Tower of London still have the sword used to remove King Charles I? As a nod to the traditions of the former England, perhaps they will use that one?

Just joking, of course.

Its over for England, their beautiful culture is history. They need to get ready for sharia law. The same thing is happening here in the USA. New York, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and a few other States are muslim. By the time Mami’s term is over NYC will be a war zone and bankrupt. The only redeeming factor is 7% of eligible voters voted so there is still hope. The imams will be calling the shots to make the USA muslim if nothing is done quickly.

RICO is a law that lets the government prosecute and dismantle organized groups—like the Mafia—by treating coordinated, repeated criminal activity as a single enterprise.

No reason why we can't do this ☝️ against organized groups acting against the interests of the U.S.

The problem is the lack of political will.

The irony is that it took almost 250 years for the UK to go full retard.
