David Greene doubts the validity of a gallant attempt to veto Brexit
Wherever we turn it’s Brexit or Trump. Trump provides nightly entertainment but the “ideology” that lies behind him and those closest to him is extremely worrying. We shall see.
The Brexit bandwagon proceeds in a little more orderly fashion:
- The Lords are now discussing the European Union (Notice of Withdrawal) Bill 2017.
- Blair says “think again”.
- My old friend Mark Stephens has corralled some of the Great and the Good to write to The Times for Parliament to consider what is best in the national interest; “Speak for Britain”.
- Following the failure of the EEA Art 127 litigation, three knights (the 3Ks) of the realm with inestimable pedigree in the law issued an opinion this week advising Parliament to look to its constitutional role in the Art 50 vote. A role, they say, that includes a veto on Brexit dependent on the acceptability to it of the negotiated relationship with the EU after Brexit.
