house of lords

Peers made 14 amendments to May’s EU Withdrawal Bill. We need strong coalition of pro-European MPs to uphold them in Commons.

Peers vote tomorrow on stopping border controls in Ireland. They are right to do so. We must not throw Northern Ireland under a bus.

Lords secured fabulous victory for parliamentary democracy, backing meaningful vote on Brexit. Daily Mail attack shows it’s losing argument.

Tomorrow’s vote could pave way for people’s vote on Brexit deal, stop us crashing out if there’s no deal and prevent May dragging her heels.

Government has been defeated by Lords over so-called “Henry VIII” powers in EU Withdrawal Bill. It is the scale of the defeat that matters.

Brexit must not endanger hard-fought rights won through EU membership. Keeping EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is first step to doing that.

Massive defeat by peers helps get PM out of tight spot over Irish border - if upheld by MPs. Pro-Europeans should be less thrilled.

Peers have tabled amendments designed to overhaul worst bits of Withdrawal Bill. MPs should throw weight behind them on return to Commons.

Labour wants to toughen up the requirement for a meaningful parliamentary vote on the Brexit. It is right.

Parliamentary defeat could force PM to suspend plan to quit Euratom nuclear pact. If so, we’ll have taken step to cancel Brexit entirely.

Downbeat tone of Withdrawal Bill debate in Lords should not mislead, peers will cause major difficulties for ministers in months ahead.

Peers won’t win their current battle to force a new referendum. But if public opinion shifts further, this will be an unstoppable idea.
