The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

After losing his Defence Minister and others, it looks like Kier Starmer has seen the writing on the wall:

msn.com - UK pm starmer expected to resign on monday and set out orderly exit observer newspaper reports

LONDON, June 20 (Reuters) - British Prime Minster Keir Starmer is expected to resign on Monday and set out a timetable for his departure, the Observer newspaper reported on Saturday.

The newspaper said Starmer had reached the conclusion that his position was no longer tenable after speaking to cabinet minister, advisers, donors and trade union leaders.

The report said Starmer was discussing the matter with his wife at his Chequers country residence before making a final decision, but that senior Labour figures expected a clear statement on his future as early as Monday.

Part of what's feeding this is Labour is looking at an extinction-level event like the Tories are experiencing if they run Starmer against Reform in 2029. They're looking to Andy Burnham to right the ship.
