Sounds like their problem, not mine. They voted for it, I wouldn't expect you to care much about British internal politics either.
While Musk and Trump were doing their thing in the US, Musk was also trying to prop certain parties around europe. Reform (UK), AfD (Germany), Vox (Spain), Lega (Italy) Their internal politics are similar to that of Germany before WW2, plus their external politics are: pulling from NATO, stopping the funding that goes to the CVE, threatening annexation of allies... so I wouldn't be surprised if internal politics are indicative of following the path of Germany.
If UK were actively threatening allies, saying they won't support NATO countries if they are attacked, and one of thekr citizes was close to the PM and was also trying to sway elections in the rest of europe, I'd be as concerned as you internal politics to see where you wpuld be going.
There maybe a balance between getting informed of the big lines of what's happening in the US (which is of course valuable) and spamming until it's 100% of everybody's timeline
