MPs to get a final vote on Brexit deal in ‘huge concession’

Labour claimed the move as a “significant victory” in response to its repeated demands for a “meaningful” vote at the end of the two-year negotiation process.

But Ms Rudd said MPs would be able to vote on a new immigration Bill that would ensure European Union citizens living in Britain could remain after Brexit.

However, the decision to trigger Article 50 was not made this week, it was made on June 23, 2016, by the British people.

Prime Minister Theresa May provided much needed clarity in her Brexit speech where she set out the Government’s 12 negotiating objectives.

When asked if her vote had therefore helped give the Tory party a blank cheque, she replied: “I don’t believe we’ve given them a blank cheque, we’re going to be holding them to account”. But that doesn’t mean those issues have gone away.

Meantime, on an SNP amendment, seeking to maintain the UK’s existing European Union terms in the event of a deal not being agreed, the Government secured an emphatic majority of 248 with 88 voting for the proposed Nationalist change to the bill and 336 MPs opposing it.

May has promised to prioritise controlling migration in the Brexit negotiations, even if that comes at the expense of giving up membership of Europe’s single market and its 500 million customers.

“This will enable us to take back the control required to respond to the challenges and opportunities ahead, and to start the process of national renewal”. “I will continue to support our party and our leader from the back benches to the very best of my ability”.

Mr Blomfield said the Government should not be forced into “a race to the bottom” on corporation tax.

“I expect it to do its job and to do its patriotic duty and actually give us the right to go on and negotiate that new relationship (with the EU)”.

The main opposition’s Brexit spokesman thinks the government is bluffing.

However, Tory MP Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, used the Commons debate to say there was an “overwhelming ethical case” to assure European Union citizens of their rights.

According to Renwick, May’s government “might well collapse” if lawmakers reject the final draft agreement. They were about accepting the Tories’ extreme form of Brexit. Westminster has no intention of acting as a Parliament for four nations.

Boles, a former business minister, posted a photo on his Facebook saying he would leave the hospital where he has received chemotherapy for a tumour in his head, to “represent my constituents”, despite feeling “pretty grim”.
