While the herd is yet to move against Keir Starmer, many believe his tenure may be coming to an end
When Boris Johnson resigned as the British prime minister in 2022, he explained that the politicians who had once loyally supported him had turned against him.
This had sealed his fate. “The herd instinct is powerful and when the herd moves, it moves,” he said.
The same question is now being asked about Keir Starmer, prime minister since 2024, when his Labour party won a huge majority at the general election.
The resignation over the weekend of his closest aide was just the latest in a series of calamities that have befallen his government over the last 18 months.
