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.

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...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

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 ...
