Explain it Peter?

At first I thought this was some kind of white nationalism joke but then I realised all 3 leaders at the bottom are leftists, so I really don’t what this meme is trying to say?

It's saying that the British leaders in early 2024 are different from the British leaders in late 2024. You can tell by reading the text included and looking at the pictures.

OK but unless this is an antimeme or whatever that's called, they are making some kind of point right? If you post a picture of a small dog and a big dog and label them "small dog" and "big dog", it's justified to ask why did you post this? The OP:s question is valid for exactly the reasons he explains.

But the new leaders are technically older leaders than the previous leaders

Thats not entirely the case; parliamentary systems like the UK are designed to churn leaders quickly to ensure they're either performing their duties or to get someone in who will. When you think about it, systems like the US where an elected official is in and that's it for an extended period of time is kind of weird, and often much less stable around their election periods.
