Such moments — when live coverage crosses the Atlantic — suggest that what stirs within Westminster and Manchester carries implications beyond the island's shores. Leadership transitions, whether formal or atmospheric, remind us that power is never simply transferred but always negotiated, watched, and interpreted by those who must live beneath it.
