How can Theresa May survive Brexit? | Standpoint

"In 1955, Paul Bloomfield published a book, Uncommon People, which begins: 'An Elizabethan country squire, a gentleman of some local prestige in the north of Leicestershire, married twice and had nine children. He died in 1606, three years after his great Queen. Much of the time since then descendants of his have managed -- occasionally they have bungled -- the affairs of England, and he, not Elizabeth I (who was unmarried and childless), was the ancestor of Elizabeth II. Sir Winston Churchill was the twelfth of our Prime Ministers -- out of the 43 who have held office since Walpole -- descended from him.' The squire was called Sir George Villiers, and the number of PMs descended from him is now reckoned to be 16 out of 54, with Cameron the most recent of these."
