THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER - KEIR STARMER - RESIGNED JUNE 22ND 2026

He was a charming gentleman and a much liked Prime Minister,                                  
But suddenly insults hurled by the score, some hurtful, some sinister, 
Wow, public's choice looks like mickey mouse,
Should be polished, talk well, not slouch,
Burnham watch out, politicians can read you well within global perimeters. 

You talk a lot Andy, say things people want to hear,
It upsets me when I hear slogans that merely smear,
Starmer’s ego, hurt with each jeer,
And Mrs Starmer who shed a tear,
Don’t be too smug, many in 10 downing, want your cheer.

Personally I hate all politics and do not follow them. Here in Malta we have corruption galore too.

Jennifer, I am not getting all the benefits of this work because I don't know about all that is happening in England or the UK. I enjoyed reading them though. Sad that he gave up his position in such a short time. Sara K.
