    With the turnover of British MPs, it sometimes take me a bit to learn the new names. “Starmer” took longer for me to learn because whenever I’d read British news, it always looked like a bit of slang for a derisive word instead of a proper noun. When I finally figured out it was the new PM, I thought the word Starmer as a derisive slang was entirely appropriate.
