Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer waits to greet the Sultan of Oman at Number 10 Downing Street in London on August 6, 2024. Nearly a week of street riots across England have thrown up the first major crisis for Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he marks one month since his landslide election win.

But the tumult of the past week has punctured hopes of a prolonged honeymoon for the 61-year-old leader. (Photo by BENJAMIN CREMEL / AFP) (Photo by BENJAMIN CREMEL/AFP via Getty Images)
