When they tell you who they are, believe them.
That’s pretty much where the New York Times was yesterday, in a dreamy, gooey little number, waxing rhapsodic over the ascendency of “former prosecutor” Sir Keir Starmer to Prime Minister of England.
Could Starmer, the dewy-eyed scribblers of drivel dreamed, lead former prosecutor Harris to victory by example?
Once these deep thinkers started pondering, a parallel political universe emerged. It began to seem as though it might be possible as they realized how much the two former prosecutors had in common.
When Vice President Kamala Harris said last week in Chicago, “you can always trust me to put country above party,” it struck a familiar note in Britain, where the new prime minister, Keir Starmer, used much the same phrase throughout the Labour Party’s relentless march to power earlier this summer.
It’s not the only parallel…
