British PM Starmer Battles Epstein Files Like It’s A Reality Show Finale
KEY POINTS
- •UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer rejected calls to resign amid the Epstein files scandal fallout yesterday.
- •Starmer has become the most unpopular British PM on record less than two years after Labour’s election victory.
- •French President Macron and German Chancellor Merz also suffer historic unpopularity amid broader European economic and social challenges.
In a plot twist that sounds like bad Netflix drama, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is clinging to power tighter than a toddler with a candy bar amid the 'Epstein files' scandal fallout. This comes less than two years after his Labour Party's explosive election win, now ironic because he’s officially Britains' most hated PM ever, according to The Economist. Meanwhile, rookie diplomats in Europe are lapping up audience approval like Starmer is the lead in a political horror show—a competition where French President Macron clocks in at a putrid 16% approval, seemingly paving the red carpet for the far-right National Rally’s victory lap next year. Don’t forget German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, swimming in unpopularity pools as inflation, stagnation, and immigration complaints become Europe’s grim soundtrack.

Starmer’s approval ratings are so dismal, he’s basically the office plant everyone forgets but the drama’s too spicy to ignore. Europe’s leaders: neck and neck in a race to become least liked since public Wi-Fi.
If being unpopular was a sport, Starmer, Macron, and Merz would be Olympic champions by now—and none of them even train.
British PM Starmer treating resignation calls like those spam emails nobody clicks, while Europe turns into 'Who Wants To Lose Power Faster?'
