Britain Can't Keep a Prime Minister

Larry the cat has lived at 10 Downing Street since 2011. In that time, he's welcomed his 7th Prime Minister — and watched 6 of his bosses pack their boxes and leave. The cat stays. The leaders don't. Britain now tops the G7 for head-of-government turnover. Since 2016 we've churned through more leaders than Italy — the country that invented political churn. 8 Chancellors. 9 Home Secretaries. Three PMs in 50 days. But this isn't a Prime Minister problem. It's a rulebook problem. Nobody in this country has ever voted for a Prime Minister — the job goes to whoever commands the Commons, and a party can swap its leader whenever it likes. The mandate has come unhooked from the person wielding the power. And both parties like it that way.This is the story of why — and who actually benefits. 🔍 Green & Pleasant investigates British politics, power, and the institutions that run this country. #ukpolitics #KeirStarmer #AndyBurnham #BritishPolitics #PrimeMinister
