Mark Owen is pleased to welcome Quentin Peel, Associate Fellow with the Europe Programme at Chatham House and former Foreign Editor at the Financial Times. At the centre of his analysis is the precarious position of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whom Peel suggests is “hanging on in there” despite initial expectations that he might “be going within 24 hours.” The paradox, Peel argues, is that Starmer governs with “a huge majority” that is structurally unstable, born not of enthusiasm but of “a disaster for the Conservative Party” under repeated crises involving Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak.
