It's a geographical term for the island containing England, Wales and Scotland. Or in other words: every UK nation except the one that bans abortion

warning everyone i have a NUCLEAR take coming through!!! https://www.wsj.com/articles/britains-lesson-for-conservatives-1497027901?mod=e2two quote:The outcome is also a rebuke to Mrs. May’s wing of the Conservative Party. This contingent argues the Tories need to shed the “right-wing ideology” of the Margaret Thatcher era. Mrs. May embraced ideas like a cap on household energy prices that were lifted from old Labour manifestos, railed against business, and delivered speeches about “the good that government can do.”

Whether or not it's "like" the rest of the UK isn't the point. We're a constituent country of the UK just as US states comprise the US. Oh, and Wales and Scotland have different parties to England as well, and the Orange order has plenty of Scottish lodges...

jBrereton posted:Wales and Scotland have regional parties, right, but they still elect Labour, Tory, Lib Dem MPs too, and Plaid and the SNP have pretty secular goals. We just saw the last vestiges of moderate unionism and nationalism in Northern Ireland cleared off the map two days ago. As someone who has lived in all three countries, Scotland and NI are far more alike than Scotland and England. But in any case, NI is in the UK (no technically about it) and that means 1/4 of its constituent countries has outlawed abortion. Not sure how that's disputable.

Is she able to look normal eating a bacon sandwich this is important His father way, way before (although he was never leader) but I think you're talking about David Milliband. The pair are brothers, and they ran against each other in the leadership contest. David was the more experienced and favoured to win, but Ed beat him due to greater union support.
