What will happen to the US and UK ‘special relationship’ with PM Starmer in charge?
In British elections, things happen at warp speed. There is no languid two-and-a-half-month interregnum from the close of polls to the taking up of the reins of power, as there is in the US. Prime minister Starmer will move into Downing Street imminently, and before he’s worked out how to use the remote control or found out where the loos are, he’ll be on a plane to Washington for the Nato summit next week.
