Remain-backing MPs from across Britain’s main parties are drawing up plans to block the prospect of a no-deal Brexit, it has been revealed.
The cross-party group — which includes prominent Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat, SNP, and Green MPs —
seek to give Parliament the power to stop the UK leaving talks with Brussels without a deal, according to
The Guardian, despite barely more than one in four Britons
believing that “any deal is better than no deal”.
An amendment to the Brexit bill tabled by Tory former cabinet minister Dominic Grieve would decree that any final deal has to be approved by Parliament, giving MPs — most of whom supported Remain during the European Union (EU) referendum campaign last year — the power to reject any agreement struck with Brussels by Prime Minister Theresa May.
Tabled by Europhile former Tory Chancellor Ken Clarke, and former Labour minister Chris Leslie, another amendment proposes that a two-year “transition” period — during which the UK would stay shackled to Brussels — which was
suggested by the prime minister during a speech in Florence, be written into law.
If passed, the amendment would block Britain from leaving Europe if a period where the country remains subject to EU rules and laws was not agreed.
