Starmer's victory and the 'special relationship'

Labour’s Keir Starmer has won the British election, raising questions about the next chapter in the “special relationship” between the United States and the United Kingdom. For all the talk of these ties between British prime ministers and American presidents, the truth is, it’s a pretty recent invention. Throughout America’s first century, England was seen more as an adversary or a rival. Not until the tumult of the 20th century would Britain be considered an ally.
