Boris Johnson and the Conservative Party have defeated Labour in a convincing victory in the early hours of this morning, forcing Corbyn to announce future plans for resignation. The Labour Party lost a number of votes in leave-voting constituencies, due to their ambiguous stance on Brexit, in addition to Jeremy Corbyn's general unlikability. We will examine how devastating Corbyn might have been, had he won the election. The Conservatives have kept one of their campaign promises: Corbyn neutral by Christmas. In the tradition of all great socialists, Corbyn and the Labour Party have framed their economic policy as "social justice", attempting to appear somewhat moral. Nevertheless, Labour's policies, founded upon greed and economic ignorance, would hurt businesses severely. A strong example of this is their plan to give company profits to workers. Of course, they argue that they are giving workers "a share of the profits they help create". This statement, a

Anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of British history is familiar with the Magna Carta. First signed by King John in 1215, it is the birth of constitutionalism in England. However, there is another equally important document that receives much less attention, both from general society and from our schools. Although it failed to respect the inherent right of Catholics to worship as they saw fit, it was a strong message in forcing monarchs to accept that they were not divinely chosen and could therefore not act executively without the consent of Parliament. Its relatives? The Magna Carta, the Provisions of Oxford and the far more famous US Bill of Rights. The document is the English Bill of Rights. The English Bill of Rights was presented to William and Mary at their coronation, after King James II, the previous King, was forced to abdicate the throne after the Glorious Revolution. The document addressed their grievances with the former monarch and clearly outlined that the civ

Amidst the political and social division in the United Kingdom, many believe that the system is incapable of dealing with as great a constitutional crisis as Brexit. The issue has stoked debate as to whether true power is vested in Parliament or the people. To someone who thinks in purely theoretical terms, the answer is obvious: Parliament is representative of the people, therefore power is vested in both parties. However, to everyone else, the answer is not so clear. Despite MPs being sent to Westminster as representatives of their constituents, they have betrayed the people they supposedly serve, by disobeying the democratic mandate. While I am not a fan of tyranny by majority, representative democracies cannot choose when they would rather not carry out the demands of the people. I'll attempt to answer the question "Is Parliament efficient enough for modern Britain?". In this article, I will attempt to answer this question and compare the Britsh system of government

There has been much talk in recent years about making modern foreign languages compulsory until GCSE level, and recently, Lucy Noble, the artistic director at the Royal Albert Hall, stated that all students should take a GCSE in a creative art subject. Opinion journalists have also written in prominent publications such as The Telegraph, arguing that a modern foreign language should be studied by all students until the age of 16. I would like to make the case for making the study of a classical language compulsory in all secondary schools, as it has many benefits for both the students and the wider society. Classical languages, like Latin and Ancient Greek, are often overlooked, but I believe they are essential to a complete education. Classical languages form the basis for much of the English language, with about 60% of the language having either a Greek or Latin origin. In the jargon of science and technology, this number is 90%, with words like "computer" from computo, m

Before beginning, I must note that the title is by all means misleading. The British constitution is not entirely unwritten; medieval documents such as the Magna Carta and the Provisions of Oxford still contain statutes that are applicable today. For example, the phrase, "No freeman shall be imprisoned except by a jury of peers" is derived from the Magna Carta (1215). However, unlike many other sovereign states, the United Kingdom does not have one document widely considered to be the Constitution. As the late PM Margaret Thatcher put it, "Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy." European countries that do have codified constitutions have often adopted them in the last 70 years, far after the foundation date of the country. The UK's Constitution is a set of conventions, rather than a written document. This is namely due to the United Kingdom consisting of four independent nations until 1707. Unlike the United States, the UK does not h

Once the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, some critics believe that the British economy will never be resurrected and that it will suffer miserably, as it fails to trade with the wider world. However, after an in-depth analysis of the British economy, our team here at Invenire have chosen four actions to be taken by the Government to create more jobs for British workers. 1. Invest in vocational and technical training  Many believe that Theresa May should solely focus her higher education efforts on lowering university costs. Although Britain does need a new generation of academics and university-educated professionals to fill the market without foreigners, it remains the truth that the United Kingdom needs a new, stronger network of vocational  colleges and trade schools.  A study by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) warns that the number of university leavers has dramatically outstripped the supply of advanced jobs.
