Parliament is plumbing the depths yet again and this political era is so different to any I have seen before. There were challenging times when Labour took the UK into the second Gulf War or had to pick up the pieces of the banking collapse and economic meltdown.

Democracy is a fragile thing and how we do it in the United Kingdom -  universal suffrage from the age of 18 - only goes back a matter of decades. It now seems natural, a part of the warp and weft of British culture, but it is now going through a crisis.

Do politicians take you for granted? Is their constituency so safe that people say, “if you put a red rosette on a donkey it would still win”?

We do not have permission to leave the European Union. Or at least, many British politicians seem to believe that we can only leave on terms that the EU approve.
