Does the UK have a Constitution

It has been argued by F F Ridley that the UK does not have a constitution. Because according to him, none of the four essential characteristics of a Constitution is to be found here. These are as follows:

•  The Constitution establishes or constitutes the system of government and is thus not part of it.

•  The Constitution involves an authority outside and above the order it establishes, i.e. constituent power

•  The Constitution is a form of law superior to all other laws

•  The Constitution is entrenched.

Ridley's four characteristics regarding Constitution are likely to be satisfied by a documentary or codified Constitution. Conversely, they are unlikely to be satisfied by a documentary or codified constitution. Although it has been acknowledged that the UK does not have a written constitution, i.e. a documentary or codified Constitution, The answer to the above mentioned question is affirmative.
