UK’s May heads for Brexit negotiations without vote by MPs – paper

May is allegedly planning to prevent Members of Parliament from voting on the decision to leave the European Union before Article 50, the legislation that will trigger the UK’s formal exit from the bloc, is triggered, reports The Guardian.

The prime minister’s office was not immediately available for comment.

But it sounds like this won’t be the case.

UK Prime Minister Theresa May plans to start talks to formally begin withdrawal from the European Union without a parliamentary vote, the Telegraph reported on Saturday.

The SNP reminded the Prime Minister that, at her first official meeting with Nicola Sturgeon, she had promised a “UK-wide approach” before starting the Article 50 withdrawal process.

I hope our MPs have had a well-earned break during the summer recess after the turmoil that followed the referendum result.

It is learned the Mishcon de Reya law firm may challenge the May government in court rationalizing Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty can not be triggered without a parliamentary vote.

Most MPs, a total of around 480, campaigned for Britain to stay in the European Union at the last election.

The alliance has been supported by former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg, who tweeted his support.

Despite reports of a feud between the ministers in charge of the main Brexit departments – Boris Johnson, David Davis and Liam Fox – Mrs May will use the Cabinet meeting to compare the unity in Tory ranks with the chaos in the Labour Party.

Two months ago 52 percent of Britons opted to leave the European Union, but since then the process and what it could mean has been shrouded in uncertainty because the exit is unprecedented.

He said that under his leadership the Labour Party would opposed triggering Article 50 until the Conservatives commited to a second public vote.

“There are people who are threatening to try to stop Brexit”. The bottom line is that here is nothing that could possibly be allowed to stand in its way.

Mr Smith said: “Theresa May is clearly running scared from parliamentary scrutiny of her Brexit negotiations”.

He also predicted the Government will trigger Article 50 early in the new year and start the formal two-year countdown to Britain leaving the EU.

People had a range of reasons for voting to leave Europe, but we can now work constructively together to get things right for the future generations of this country.

“The country should carry on being engaged in this debate, it should carry on expressing its view”.
