The latest pronouncement from No10 North is that Britain needs major constitutional reform as part of Burnham’s ‘circuit breaker’ philosophy. The British are notoriously indifferent to radical constitutional experiments for which there is no obvious need. Where is the obvious need for a written constitution?” Picking a fight with the upper echelons of the bench over a written constitution seems like a crazy idea, not to mention the parliamentary time it would absorb. Is Burnham just shooting from the hip or does he actually want to implement any of his more radical ideas?
