We were definitely taught it in the UK, would have been in fourth year of primary school if I remember correctly (so that would be roughly US grade 3 or so).

Because nobody thought to build a rail connection to the Orkney islands.

If I'm not going far, not driving or not planning on spending much then yes, wallet stays at home.

Otherwise, if I'm driving then I'm taking my driving license with me (you never know), if I'm making a purchase over the contactless limit then I need to take my actual card with me anyway, or if I'm away for a longer period then I might need cards that I don't have linked to my phone (like my corporate card - like fuck am I putting that in my phone).

And for all that, I'd rather have a wallet instead of just a loose amalgamation of plastic in my pockets.

There is precedent for this.

The PM is the head of government and is ultimately responsible and accountable for its actions and policies. They are also the head of their political party and thus will have a say on what policies are brought to the table (although they do still need to be voted on in the houses).

Our PM is not technically the head of state (that's the King, from whose power the government derives its authority), however for all intents and purposes they may as well be.

So yes, his resignation will have an impact.
