Brexit

Now for the Lords! As Brexit fight clears the Commons, peers are told: Don't you dare block it 

The House of Lords was last night warned it could be abolished if it tries to block Brexit after a landmark bill cleared the Commons by a thumping majority.

Theresa May crushed attempts by pro-Remain MPs to thwart Britain's EU exit by tabling dozens of amendments designed to tie her hands in negotiations with Brussels.

MPs voted by 494 to 122 to pass the EU (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill – a majority of 372. The legislation now moves to the Lords, where pro-EU peers are threatening to hijack it.
