The MPs who will - and won't - seek to block Brexit
A week after the High Court's Article 50 ruling, Brexit's opponents are gathering their forces. The Liberal Democrats have pledged not to trigger EU withdrawal unless the government promises a referendum on the eventual deal. "So my position is very clear ... the people are sovereign," declared Tim Farron. Though no Brexiter will admit as much, one reason they oppose a second referendum is the risk it could be lost. The public narrowly voted to Leave in June but that offer may appear less tempting without the accompanying promise of £350m a week for the NHS and an end to VAT on fuel bills. Indeed, voters are instead likely to face the prospect of continued EU budget contributions in return for some degree of single market access.
I am no fan of Mr Farron but he has hit the nail firmly on the head. Let the people approve the terms and show a real democratic intent.
The devil is always in the detail and the brexit case,shorn of its lies, will crumble when exposed to the bright light of scrutiny.
Thats why they are running scared of little Gina Miller.
