This time, however, it voted for the opposition Labour Party for the first time since the 1950s, helping catapult Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a self-described socialist, into No. 10 Downing St.Former British…

We learned the great stories that shaped the American mythos: the Pilgrims, the Founding Fathers, the Constitution, and more.
