The Brexit secretary warned MPs not to “thwart the will of the people” after the UK’s highest court ruled today that the government must seek parliament’s approval for triggering Brexit.
Within minutes of the Supreme Court ruling, ministers pledged to do “all that is necessary” to implement the justices’ majority opinion that legislation was required. A short bill authorising the invocation of Article 50, the formal mechanism for leaving the EU, is expected to be published within days and put to the vote in both the Commons and Lords.
David Davis told MPs that they must not frustrate Britain’s exit as Labour criticised the government’s plans and said that they would seek to amend any bill.
The Guido Fawkes blog, Order-order puts it as well as anything I have yet seen.
Up-sum of David Davis’ Commons statement:
- Article 50 legislation within days
- Bill will be straightfoward, short and simple as possible
- Timetable to trigger by March still stands
Or to put it another way, Britain will be leaving the European Union…
And
Leave Tories in the Commons who Guido has spoken to today expect to secure the votes of over 400 MPs to trigger Article 50. They envisage around 80 Labour MPs voting against or abstaining, the SNP voting against and a handful of Tory abstentions. In other words, a large majority to trigger. The government rates its chances of winning the Article 50 vote at “100%”.
General opinion is that MPs are taking consistuents indications seriously. As they should.
On the subject of the unacceptable (oh, so smug) face of the stymie campaign, Gina Miller, former model and wealthy trophy wife, this comment caught my eye. Miller is a figurehead, a pawn, disposable. She will be found face down in the gold paint eventually – ooops I may have muddled my Bond films there.
I don’t think she needs ‘bankrolling’ she has her own means and hubby can also pick up the tab too.
I do believe that, Soros is the Machiavelli-an manipulator – the likes of Branson is simply too thick – behind much of this remoaniac malignancy.
Soros, he will attempt to move heaven and earth to bring about making Britain return to heel. For we know it, the game is all about the deconstruction, funding the destruction of the nation state.
Moreover and until June 23 and Nov 8th 2016… For until these two momentous dates, Georg Soros like the malicious old cunt he is, was orchestrating, composing, his great scheme of OWG and Internationalism on amphetamines was going along just thank you very nicely.
Gina Miller is just the perfectly chosen frontispiece of UK4EUforevah’…, foreign, melanistically pigmented sort of British and hey a gal too – that was clever, very, very clever and has the imprimatur of [and Berlin] Soros all over it, mind you it helps greatly if you are first name terms with the court ……..know what I mean?
What I would like to see is, some very determined attempt by the Trump administration to dump from a great height on Soros, to try to prise him out of his NYC snakes nest – would be a very good start, sequestration of funds would be an excellent and nuanced move.
I do hope President Trump will be doing somerthing about the nasty Mr Soros. He makes Ernst Blofeld look positively charming.
