Re: Post-Brexit Thread
Quote:
In a bid to see off a rebellion by pro-EU Tories, the PM agreed to a Labour demand to publish her Brexit “plan” soon.
The Government added to the Labour motion, and added that MPs should support the PM's Brexit timetable
But at the same time, she also laid down the gauntlet to the Commons to accept June’s landmark decision.
The historic vote will be the first time that all MPs have been asked to endorse the British people’s verdict, after they backed the campaign to stay in the EU by a ratio of two to one.
A government amendment to Labour’s original motion will this afternoon press MPs to “respect the wishes of the United Kingdom as expressed in the referendum on 23 June”.
And in another bid to smoke out Remain supporters who secretly want to block Brexit, the Commons will also be asked to back the PM’s timetable of triggering Article 50 exit talks by the end of next March.
A senior No10 source said: “This is potentially very awkward for some Labour MPs and the likes of Nick Clegg.
“Now we’ll see if those who say they accept the referendum result really do.”
