No written Constitution.

Theresa May faces Tory showdown as MP's demand she names date to resign.

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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
