Theresa May's Dates of Doom

  For about the last three hundred years I've been saying that Theresa May is going to resign because she can't get her withdrawal agreement through Parliament.

European Union constituencies for the United Kingdom

European Union constituencies in the United Kingdom . Each constituency for the European parliament is made up of several counties, or in the case of the three nations, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, each one comprises a single constituency of itself. .   I've decided to make what I couldn't easily find anywhere else. A set of maps showing which counties belong to which constituency, and how many MEPs are allocated to it. So if you know where you live, you can easily see which European constituency you're in, and who else is in it with you. . . .   . . . . . . .   . .. .   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   . . . .   . . . .   . . . . . . .
