The Observer view on the high court ruling on Brexit and parliament
The judgment is not about sabotaging Britain's EU exit. It's about respecting democracy and getting the best deal possible It has become painfully clear since June's vote to leave the European Union that Theresa May's government and its supporters have little or no idea where the country is heading. Lacking a plan or a shared philosophy, they are united by an arbitrary and destructive rush to the exit. Their hysterical reaction to last week's unanimous high court ruling that Britain cannot quit the EU without parliament's consent also reveals extraordinary ignorance about where we, as a country, have come from. It is dismaying that those who campaigned so passionately to reclaim British sovereignty appear not to have the first idea about their country's long-established constitutional arrangements.

According to BT, this is on the basis of low usage, the extent of mobile network coverage for normal and emergency use and that the majority of people do not view payphones as essential for most customers in most circumstances.

Engineering an early election looks more tempting for Mrs May
There are even many Labour MPs who secretly fancy the idea - if only to put them out of their misery From the day that she stepped into Number 10, it has been a no-brainer to some of her colleagues that Theresa May ought to call an early general election. As it has also been to many MPs on the other side of the Commons. Her majority in parliament is slender and just became slimmer with the resignation of the Tory MP Stephen Phillips, a disillusioned Outer. The Conservatives are favourites to retake his seat, but they won't be so fortunate with other byelections. John Major started with a larger majority in the parliament that began in 1992 and had lost it by the time he was done. Another reason for her to go to the country early is that the Tory majority doesn't really belong to Mrs May. It was won by Whatshisname, that bloke who used to live at Number 10. She lacks the personal mandate that flows to a prime minister who has won an election in her own right.
