Yeah, fair.

But there is no mechanism to add new or expel old members. Unless UNSC is reformed, the other 4 would rather give England the seat, if not because for how significant the country is, but to just secure their own positions of power.

The mechanism is the USA and Russia saying "Britain leaves or we both walk out". The rUK would not want to be seen as the nation that collapses the UN, so it will go.

Why would the USA and Russia do that, though?

Because Russia always wants to see us gone, and we have pissed off the current administration of the USA.
