Eric J. Lyman’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I am an experienced Italy-based freelance writer and journalist who still gets a thrill out of interesting interviews and finding new ways to understand the topics I write about. I participate in Moth-style storytelling events and occasionally dabble in stand-up comedy. I am well-traveled, well-read, tri-cultural, multi-lingual, and unless an editor tells me otherwise I default to the Oxford comma.

Starmer's 'dull competence,' efforts to make UK more moderate, steady failed amid populist pressure

| Just The News Verified
For Europe’s center-left, the 2024 election of the U.K.’s Keir Starmer as prime minister was looked at as proof that “dull competence” still had a constituency. It did not work out as planned. His landslide victory after 14 years of conservative rule was based on a bet that moving past ideological theatrics, restoring institutional trust, rebuilding ties with Europe, and waiting for voters to tire of populism would succeed.

Meloni era considerata “Trump whisperer”, ora è una leader distante: la rottura col presidente pesa di più perché arriva dall’ex alleata privilegiata Per mesi Giorgia Meloni è stata raccontata negli Stati Uniti come la leader europea più vicina a Donald Trump: una sorta di canale privilegiato tra Washington e Bruxelles, la “Trump whisperer” capace di entrare alla Casa Bianca quando altri leader europei restavano fuori dalla porta.
