THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Iain Macwhirter) - Britain Has a Prime Minister in Purgatory
It is not clear any would-be challenger would fare better than Starmer. The post Britain Has a Prime Minister in Purgatory appeared first on The American Conservative .
UK Special Coverage Britain Has a Prime Minister in Purgatory It is not clear any would-be challenger would fare better than Starmer. Imagine if a group of disaffected Republican congressmen could get together to bring down a president of the United States—just like that—by getting 20 percent of their colleagues to nominate someone new. Under the U.S. Constitution, the president, as head of state, has his own mandate for a four-year term.

State of the Union: A U.S.-Nigerian operation claims to have eliminated the second in command of ISIS across the globe. The post Islamic State Leader Killed in U.S. Strikes in Nigeria appeared first on The American Conservative .
President Donald Trump and Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinub confirmed Saturday morning joint strikes on Islamic State leadership in Nigeria.
