Ahead of the Brexit meaningful vote on Tuesday, UK Prime Minister Theresa May said in an articles in Sunday Express that blocking Brexit would be a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy”. And she urged the Parliament to “forget the games and do what is right for our country.”
May is also expected to warn in a speech today that “there are some in Westminster who would wish to delay or even stop Brexit and who will use every device available to them to do so”. And, based on the evidence she recent saw, it’s more likely for MPs to block Brexit than leaving EU with no deal. May will ask MPs to “consider the consequences of their actions on the faith of the British people in our democracy”.
Separately, pro-EU Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable said on Sunday that the parliament will act to stop no-deal Brexit from happening. Should May’s deal be voted down, Cable said MPs would bring forward legislation to revoke Article 50. He added “that is exactly what we should be doing because it would be absolutely outrageous and unforgivable if the chaotic circumstances of a no deal were allowed to happen.”
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told BBC TV that “my own view is that I would rather get a negotiated deal now, if we can, to stop the danger of a no-deal exit from the EU on the 29th of March which would be catastrophic for industry, catastrophic for trade.”
