There is no such thing in the United Kingdom of Gt Britain and Northern Ireland, as a written Constitution. Everything is done on custom and practice and is reliant on precedent.Thus so is the post or position of Prime Minster. A position which does not accurately exist but which over recent times of party politics has become associated with the leader of the party winning an overall majority of the seats at a general election. Thus, historically, the title of Prime Minster has always been applied or given to "the  person able to command a majority in the House of Commons".
Theresa May has none of these requirements. Her party does not have an overall majority of seats  arising from the last general election, nor, particularly over the past few weeks, is she able to command a majority in the House of  Commons, with many of her own conservative MP's voting against her.

Sir Oliver Letwin
Against this background, she has now lost control of her cabinet, her government and now of the Commons as MP's vote to pass an amendment from Oliver Letwin taking control away from government and handing the task to MP's for a series of "indicative votes " to find a consensus.
Teresa May's position has now become completely untenable. Only her own arrogance and ego maintain her in office without power or effect. The country demands that she should go and allow others to complete the Brexit process.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.
