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. Starmer enjoyed a smooth start after sweeping into Downing Street on July 5, taking to the world stage for several summits. 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)
