I will leave it to others to talk about what Keir Starmer did right and wrong in his two years as UK Prime Minister.

But two things struck me as we witnessed his not-so-voluntary resignation speech. First, the speed of his demise, from hero to has-been in just 720-odd days. And, second, the nasty sound of the leadership revolving door, flinging out another PM. Starmer’s dispatch makes him the seventh British PM in 10 years, with the last to serve a full term being David Cameron.

Sound familiar? It wasn’t that long ago that Australia had a rotating roster of prime ministers. Rudd, Gillard, Rudd, Abbott, Turnbull, Morrison, Albanese made it seven in a decade for us too........
