The chamber at 10 Downing Street is dim, the ticking of a clock the only sound until a chill sweeps through. Keir Starmer, hunched over papers, freezes as the air shimmers. Four spectral giants—Margaret Thatcher, Winston Churchill, Benjamin Disraeli, and the Duke of Wellington—emerge from the shadows, their faces etched with fury. Their accusation thunders as one: “How dare you, sir, sell out the West, betray your sacred duty!” The words aren’t just about Britain now; they carry the weight of a civilization they see teetering.
Margaret Thatcher, her voice sharp as a blade, steps forward first. “The West was built on resolve, on standing tall against threats. You’ve bartered its strength for expediency!” Her eyes burn, as if she sees markets collapsing and alliances fraying under Starmer’s watch.
Winston Churchill, his jowls trembling with righteous anger, points a ghostly finger. “I rallied the free world against tyranny. Now you weaken its foundations, letting the flame of liberty flicker!” His growl conjures images of a West divided, its unity crumbling.
Benjamin Disraeli, with a flourish of his spectral coat, speaks of ideals. “The West is an idea—freedom, progress, courage. You’ve traded its soul for fleeting gains, leaving us adrift!” His words drip with disdain, as if Starmer’s actions have tarnished a grand legacy.
The Duke of Wellington, ramrod-straight, glares like a general betrayed. “I fought for order, for a West that commands respect. Your weakness invites chaos!” His presence evokes a battlefield where the West’s defenses falter, enemies circling.
Starmer, pale and shaken, might stammer a defense—perhaps claiming he’s navigating impossible pressures, balancing modernity with tradition. But the ghosts are relentless, their forms towering as they circle him. “Sacred duty,” they repeat, the phrase a haunting refrain. The West, in their eyes, isn’t just nations; it’s a bulwark of values they fear Starmer has forsaken.
