The new British prime minister is pursuing a policy that is inspired by localism. Its meaning remains unclear, but Andy Burnham knows that successful leadership needs an overarching theme.

The British prime minister had a terrible first year in office, and things haven’t improved much since. A bad result for his Labour Party in regional and local elections on May 7 may well cut his political career short.

The special relationship has never been better—between a special type of American and a special type of Brit. Donald Trump could not be happier with the progress being made by Nigel Farage and his Reform UK.

To the surprise of most, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has called a snap election for July 4. The opposition Labour Party is widely expected to win it.
