UK Special Coverage (Photo by Lab Ky Mo/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Britain’s public institutions are in a crisis of legitimacy. As British voters wonder why their taxes increase and their living standards stagnate, the state seems uninterested in improving the quality of their lives. The Government, led by Sir Keir Starmer, has long since stopped functioning. After failing to implement some modest reforms to the welfare state a year ago, it has…Open

UK Special Coverage Britain’s Underbelly Is on the Ballot The decline of British high streets is finally compelling a political response. UK Special Coverage Britain is a country where political discussion is carefully stage-managed.

Since the 1960s, the British government has introduced a range of laws intended to manage the tensions of multiculturalism, which emerged after the…Open

THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Fred de Fossard) - The British Turn Their Backs on Labour
In the UK today, questions of identity and culture drive political change. The post The British Turn Their Backs on Labour appeared first on The American Conservative .
The latest local elections confirmed what opinion polls had been suggesting for a good while: the collapse of the Labour Party and the extraordinary unpopularity of its leader, Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Up and down the country, from urban to rural, metropolitan to suburban, or Celtic to Saxon, the British people turned their backs on the Labour Party less than two years after it won a landslide victory at the last general election. Reform UK will be able to claim a victory – though perhaps less dominant than they hoped – the Conservative Party continued to suffer losses throughout the country, and the ascendant Green Party have emerged as a real force on British left, albeit not as strongly as some expected. Since the results,…Open
