It's kind of strange that under the slavery and forced labour bit they include the laogai system and the gulags, but not the american penal system, the labour of which is literally enshrined in the constitution as an exception to the 'no slavery' amendment.

quote:

A government letter, written on behalf of home secretary Amber Rudd and seen by the Observer, also advises EU nationals that they should consider leaving because they have the “right to travel freely across the EU and can visit, live, study and in most cases work in any other EU member state” – an observation that appears to preempt the UK’s departure from the union.

The letter, dated 18 October and written by officials from the Home Office’s immigration section, tells a Romanian national in an immigration detention centre that his request for emergency accommodation has been rejected and he should consider another country. It states: “You could avoid becoming destitute by returning to Romania or another EU member state where you could enjoy access to all your ECHR [European Convention on Human Rights] without interference.”

According to the FT, the upcoming budget doesn't contain the £1 billion that Theresa promised the DUP for northern Ireland, on the basis that its only available if there's power sharing in place.

I can foresee no possible way this could possibly come back to bite her.

Queen's Speech has already passed and I don't think the DUP have the balls to vote down the budget.

The way the whips generally keep a binder of shame on MPs peccadillos is pretty hosed up and always has been. "Hmmm, this MP is a harasser. We can use this to make them vote with us" is a really despicable and cynical attitude but yeah, that's British politics.

That said, not actually sure much comes from this. The Tories are really good at just shrugging poo poo like this off while Labour beats itself up while also being beaten up by the press.

The government falling because more than 10 Conservative MPs were all charged with sexual assault at once would be the most appropriate end to May's tenure as Prime Minister.

It'd be hard enough to investigate MPs at the best of times, the threat of a Corbyn premiership will make it even harder.

We had a February and October election in 1974 that was quite similar in terms of it being a minority government the first time around.
