LONDON (AP) -- Seven British lawmakers quit the main opposition Labour Party on Monday over its approach to Brexit and anti-Semitism — the biggest shake-up in years for one of Britain's major political parties.
The announcement ripped open a long-simmering rift between socialists and centrists in the party, which sees itself as the representative of Britain's working class. It's also the latest fallout from Britain's decision to leave the European Union, which has split both of the country's two main parties — Conservatives and Labour — into pro-Brexit and pro-EU camps.
Many Labour lawmakers have been unhappy with the party's direction under leader Jeremy Corbyn, a veteran socialist who took charge in 2015 with strong grass-roots backing. They accuse Corbyn of mounting a weak opposition to Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May's plans for leaving the EU, and of failing to stamp out a vein of anti-Semitism in the party.

A while back I had to buy a deck of ordinary playing cards for a class I'm taking. When the package arrived I examined them-- hadn't actually owned or even looked at a regular deck for many years.
I was curious about the history of some of the designs so I looked around YouTube and found this fascinating video. I am seeding it here because playing cards play such a prominent role in so many Magic tricks:
