The UK's Constitution Explained - TLDR Explains...Constitutions are foundational documents which set out how most countries are run. They are held as sacred and individual sentences studied for their true meaning. However, the UK and a handful of other countries avoid all of that by having an unwritten, uncodified constitution.

Conclusion
In conclusion, a Prime Minister’s powers are far from limitless. Even the two most powerful of recent Prime Ministers - Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair - have eventually come up against these limits, forcing them to resign in both cases. Ultimately, a Prime Minister’s power depends on the size of their majority, and the level of support they have from both their own backbenchers, and their Cabinet. These factors in turn, by and large depend on their level of popular support. With enough popular support, a prime minister will be able to dominate both Cabinet and parliament: so long as they keep leading their party to electoral victory, neither is likely to move against them. But sooner or later the public always tires of even the most impressive leaders - and that is when prime ministers learn that the loyalty of their own party must never be taken for granted.
