₹1,000 Crore for Damage Control: The Real Cost of India's Exam Crisis

Britain’s political instability has once again come into focus as Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces mounting pressure after Labour’s disastrous 2026 local election results. The crisis has renewed wider questions about why Britain has cycled through so many prime ministers in such a short period. Since the Brexit referendum in 2016, the country has witnessed an extraordinary succession of leaders including David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and now Starmer facing potential revolt. Analysts say Britain’s problems go far beyond individual leaders, pointing instead to deep structural weaknesses in the political system, growing public anger over the economy, intense media pressure, and bitter divisions within both major parties. Brexit’s economic and political aftershocks continue to dominate public life, while voters increasingly lose faith in Westminster politics. Reform UK’s rise has added further pressure on Labour and the Conservatives, with many warning Britain’s political crisis is becoming systemic rather than temporary. The turmoil surrounding Downing Street now raises broader questions about whether Britain’s current political model is still capable of delivering long-term stable government.
