Parliament has been gripped in recent months by a series of knife-edge votes, as Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s minority government struggled to push its Brexit plan through a bitterly divided body. Those days are over. But now that the Conservatives have a huge majority, our London correspondent writes, the party’s rank-and-file members will find themselves with little individual influence.

The BBC: The prime minister’s apparent antipathy for the British Broadcasting Corporation echoes President Trump’s criticism of the American news media. Some in Britain fear that he will use his new political clout to attack the broadcaster’s funding.

Electoral system: An overview of Britain’s “first past the post” system — in which seats are awarded to the candidate who wins the most votes in each individual race, rather than by proportion of the total national vote — helps explain how the centrist Liberal Democrats won just 11 seats in Parliament despite receiving 3,696,423 votes.

Israel: On Thursday, Mr. Johnson’s new government is expected to announce a proposal to bar local authorities from participating in a boycott-Israel movement that some have criticized as anti-Semitic.
