Last Sunday, Parliament prepared to hold a series of votes of huge importance to the Brexit process.The menu of choices before MPs was extensive and, in some cases, had far- reaching and long term implications for the way the UK is governed.
MPs were invited to back an amendment which would have given Parliament unprecedented power to direct the Government to extend the Article 50 process – frustrating Brexit and deferring the difficult decisions which remain to be taken before we leave the EU. They voted not to do so.
