CW: UKpol: former Prime Ministers, Keir Starmer
The Guardian has an article: What will Keir Starmer do next?
I find my own response to this headline instructive.
Any previous PM, I would have read the article. With Starmer, I really don't need to know. I haven't clicked on the article.
Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak: in each case, the question would be interesting, in one way or another. Will they look for a position with behind-the-scenes string-pulling power? Make the big money? Write books? Become a vampyre? Will anyone want to take them?
With Starmer, I don't want to ask, and I will not listen to any answers. He'll find something well paid, no doubt; and he won't trouble live politics again. All good.

Sunday morning, recommended #documentary film.
Before the formation of the Israel Defense Forces in 1948, there were three underground #Zionist #militias - The #Haganah, the #Irgun and the #Lehi.
They differed in tactics and beliefs, and at times fought with each other - but together they terrorised #Palestinian villages and executed attacks and #bombings against the #British to force them to give up control of the land.
They blew up hotels in #Jerusalem, embassies in #Europe and #assassinated a UN mediator.
After #Israel was officiated as a state - the three #terrorist militias would create the #IDF - and their leaders would go on to form Israel’s government, become #politicians, #ambassadors and #PrimeMinisters.
And their dark #history would be forgotten.
