Ultimately it matters not if your constitution is written or unwritten or codified or uncodified…
…once those in power do not recognise political or legal rules higher than their own personal or partisan advantage it is constitutional ‘game over’.
Constitutions need constitutionalism, most of all.

Royal Mail has been fined £10.5m for not hitting delivery targets.
Like the Water Company fines they are simply passed on to the consumer.
A solution is to make the fine a % loss of shares, so the Government gains control of failing companies.

I predicted and warned that Labour would continue the Tories nationwide SEZs/Freeports scam, Starmer has announced more deregulation and more SEZs plus a Govt partnership with Blackrock, the most criminally corrupt shadow bank in the world.
The UK is being privatised.

Revealed: UK politics infiltrated by ‘dark money’ with 10% of donations from dubious sources
Cash from dictatorships and shell companies is entering the political system via legal loopholes
UK politics infiltrated by ‘dark money’.
Cash from dictatorships, shell companies, companies that never made profit, unincorporated associations with secret funders.
Rewards for corruption - govt contracts, lax laws, favours.
Must ban all political donations.

Repost if you can’t think of a single reason why this guy’s beneficiaries should be treated favourably and be excused from paying Inheritance Tax just because he bought a farm.

Billionaires Are Suing the Honduran Government for Blocking Their Profit-Making Scheme
US billionaires are trying to establish a libertarian city-state in Honduras to evade democratic constraints. As progressive president Xiomara Castro resists their efforts, the Peter Thiel–backed firm...
⚠️WARNING⚠️ UK Zone Fever has the most malign backers on the planet.
Trump is the man who Peter Thiel (PayPal/Palantir) urged to fire the nation’s civil servants to “replace them with our people”, to defy the courts and rule his own way. Or, to put this in simple terms: to foment a coup.

What gets to me most is that the UK government enabled foreign states to loot our essential infrastructure, milking it for profit and leaving it in ruins. Those states must think we're insane.
The Chinese government would never let us walk in and seize its assets. But we've let it do just that.

A reminder,
We haven't been self-sufficient in food since about 1760, when the landowners enclosed our land for sheep, and we were forced to work in their dark satanic mills.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.

#Inequality
It's fairly safe to say that many of the world's problems can be traced back to one major issue: inequality.
