[FOX] Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Monday that he will resign following a mounting revolt inside the Labour Party after devastating local election losses, the resignation of government ministers and growing pressure from senior members of his own cabinet. "I am totally NOT resign....OK, nevermind. I'm outta here"
Starmer said he would step down as prime minister and Labour leader after concluding he could no longer unite the party, but is expected to remain in office until a successor is chosen.
"Every decision I've taken has been about putting the country I love first. That is why I will resign as leader of the Labour Party. I have spoken to his majesty the king this morning to inform him of my decision," he said while delivering a statement outside of 10 Downing Street.
Starmer also acknowledged growing opposition within his own party, saying, "The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace."
Starmer said he would remain caretaker prime minister until Labour members choose a new leader in the coming weeks.
"I will ask the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party to set out a timetable with nominations opening on the 9th of July and completed by the summer recess. In the case of a contest, this will ensure a new leader is in place before Parliament returns in September. I will remain in post as prime minister until the contest is complete. And I will do everything I can to ensure an orderly handover of power," he said.

“…and being the best dad I can to my beautiful children, who are my pride and my joy.”
Completely unraped, too, unlike hundreds of thousands of other people’s beautiful children. There aren’t enough words to wish him the excruciating pain he deserves for cavalierly not protecting them, too.

There you go Chuck, you've been given a good excuse to dissolve parliament and have elections. Failure to do so means you support the radical Left's agenda.

Chuck is not dissolving Parliament to replace it with one that is more right. It will take a national shut down for that type of change.

Don't cry, Starmer. We are unmoved by your tears. We don't believe you're sorry for all the evil you have done or for all the things you should have done but didn't. Just go away.

[National Review] The outlet recently posted a lengthy interview with Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Zohran Mamdani-endorsed candidate mounting a primary challenge against the Democratic Party’s Hispanic Caucus chair, Representative Adriano Espaillat. In it, Chevalier’s interlocutors tried valiantly to drag the self-described socialist candidate down from the clouds, albeit to no avail.
They chose an easy one: murder. How would Chevalier, a "prison abolitionist," handle that?
"I think a lot of folks misunderstand what that vision of the world actually is," Chevalier replied before launching into a cerebral diatribe in which she denounced both the murderer and the nebulous environmental milieu that creates murderers.
"Because what we have right now is a system in whenever harm happens, there’s more harm being perpetrated, not only on the folks who engaged in the harm, but also on the victims of the harm," read one ponderous but still representative sentence in the blizzard of newspeak she unleashed.
Her interviewers tried again. "But what do you do to the murderer, though?" one asked. The question was met with yet another dissertation in which a lot was spoken, but nothing much was said. "But did we answer what happens to the murderer?" Chevalier’s increasingly agitated questioner asked. "Do you not incarcerate the murderer?" Somehow, this line of inquiry did not engender a "yes."
