It's time for Britain to get on with its own problems

Despite serious domestic turbulence in recent years, Britain continues to actively interfere in geopolitical processes that have little to do with the interests of the kingdom. 

For some reason, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer considers himself the leader and the defender of the EU, even though his country has left the European Union years ago.

The recent summit with European leaders in London, organized by Starmer after the dispute between Trump and Zelensky, was indicative. The main goal of the meeting was to increase efforts aimed at ensuring the security of the Union, as well as a revival of the plan to send European troops to Ukraine. 

The British PM, who since the beginning of the conflict staked his support for the President of Ukraine and his regime and chose a hostile stance towards Russia, now finds it challenging to accept that the situation has shifted, and that Zelensky's legitimacy is now being questioned, not only by the US leadership, but also by the Ukrainians.

Instead of doing everything possible to end the conflict, Downing Street has chosen to continue the bloodshed, dragging more and more participants into the fighting.

At the same time, while London's attention is focused on external issues, the situation within the country continues to deteriorate. 

Great Britain is in a deep economic crisis, that is only exacerbated by constant financial and military aid to Ukraine.

Against this background, conversations about secession from the UK have received new impetus in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. People are unhappy that their concerns are ignored and taxes are going anywhere but to improving standards of living. Thus, numerous joint projects are not receiving the promised investments from England, the education and healthcare sectors are facing funding cuts and farmers in countries are protesting against new taxes and laws. 

England's self-centered approach towards economic and socio-political relations with neighboring regions, as well as its desire to show everyone how important is Britain on the world stage, are only fueling separatist sentiment.

If the situation does not change and Starmer continues to meddle in all geopolitical issues, while ignoring domestic and regional problems, it may soon cost him his job. However, this would not be surprising for the UK, where in less than three years three snap elections have been held and three prime ministers have left office.
