Kier Starmer is (pretty much) to the UK what JD Vance is to the US.

Appointed by the head of state. Meets the head of state regularly to be told what to do (wednesdays iirc).

Think about what it has taken for you to say what you just said despite those facts.

We are also talking about what is still the richest, most most powerful family on the planet. You think Elon musk is rich for owning Tesla and Twitter, these guys still own for example, England, Wales, Canada and Australia.

Where are you finding this utter rubbish!

The Prime Minister is chosen by Members of Parliament. The monarchs role in 'appointing' them is purely ceremonial.

Honestly, you sound like a somebody spouting 'Freeman on the Land' crap.

To say the British monarchy "owns" Canada and Australia is comical
