(ASSOCIATED PRESS) For someone often derided as dull, Keir Starmer has delivered a sensational election result.
Starmer led Britain’s Labour Party to a landslide election victory, and on Friday became the country’s 58th prime minister - the first leader from the center-left party to win a U.K. national election since Tony Blair, who won three in a row starting in 1997.
It’s the latest reinvention for a man who went from human rights attorney to hard-nosed prosecutor and from young radical to middle-aged pragmatist.
Like Blair, who refashioned the party as “New Labour” in the 1990s, 61-year-old Starmer led Labour to a landslide victory over Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party in Thursday’s election after dragging the party towards the political middle ground.
He won by promising voters change, but also calm, vowing to restore stability to public life and give Britain “the sunlight of hope” after 14 years of turmoil under the Conservatives.

I do. With the far right trying to take over, especially in France and here in the US, it's a welcome sign the UK chose democracy over authoritarianism. Now let's get Joe reelected here in the US!!

What I find stone cold about it is the old PM moves out of 10 Downing Street that day! They go see the King to tender a resignation, and never return to 10 Downing Street again!

That's very interesting. Does that mean the new PM does not get to redecorate like they do at the White House in America?

There's hope...I am the gate; whoever enters through me (Jesus/God) will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:9,10 Repent/believe Jesus loves you live 4 Him!
