Politico Publications on UK Politics
Politico Europe has published several articles focusing on the UK political landscape. One piece, marking ten years since the Brexit referendum, notes that much of what seemed shocking then—from digital advertising to the Thames flotilla—is now just politics as usual.
Another article, titled 'The lame duck prime minister’s survival guide,' reports that Keir Starmer intends to continue as UK prime minister despite a growing Labour backlash. Politico spoke to battle-scarred veterans to learn how prime ministers in serious peril can play it.
A third article, 'The catastrophe is coming: The battle to fix Britain’s crumbling parliament,' highlights that MPs worry voters will be furious with a parliamentary revamp, even as safety warnings pile up.
Finally, Politico examines why Britain struggles to hold onto its prime ministers, citing factors from rising prices to WhatsApp. Westminster insiders explain why the country feels ungovernable.
